Thank you so much, John and Peter, I hope you were as excited and dazzled by these keynote presentations and me over the day, I've learned about what business buy-in and training a generation of leaders, what that looks like at American airlines reinforced even by their CEO, Doug Parker. I learned why business leaders value the work of technologies from the team at CSG and why we need to create even more leaders within the technology organization. I learned about specific practices or from John smart, which will be in his upcoming book sooner, safer, and happier, and then learned more about the principles and practices behind the amazing book team of teams. I learned about how amazing the relationship between business and technology can be from the team at Fannie Mae. And I learned more about what greatness can look like and where the gaps might be from John Cutler and Peter Moore.

So that wraps up the talks for today. And we have two more amazing days of talks left. We more than doubled the amount of networking time. And we thought very carefully about how to maximize the chances of you having useful and serendipitous interactions with your peers. So again, my advice is use this time. Well, this community is one of the best group of networkers I've ever met. It's so much more than just being friendly. It's about finding the right people to help you achieve your goals, whether that's expertise, connections, you need helpers, fellow travelers. And again, my advice is the best way to get help is to help someone first. So with that, I'll turn it over to my friend, Jeff Gilmore, to take us into the networking session. So thank you. And I'll see you around this evening at one of the many happy hours.

It's the end of an amazing first day of the DevOps enterprise summit. And the great thing about it is it's not over yet. I'm going to share even more opportunities for you to connect, share, and learn with each other. Now you probably attended some great sessions today. Well, we want to hear about that. Please enter your feedback on the website for the sessions that you did attend. Feedback is really valuable to the speakers and to the programming committee. Feedback is a gift and sharing is caring. So please go to the website and enter your feedback reminder that we have the session slides and the videos available. The videos of the plenary talks are available after they air, which means that all the plenary talks for today are already available in the library. And the videos of all the breakout talks over all three days are also available now, and the slides are available for download in both Dropbox and didn't get hub.

And just because we're not together in person doesn't mean that we can't have a happy hour. Yep. We have a happy hour navigate to the network and the top level menu, or check out the happy hour channel in slack to get more information about how you can connect with attendees sponsors and it revolution authors. Some of the it revolution are hosting an ask me anything session and we have hosted tables and a general happy hour, thanks to all the sponsors who are hosting tables tonight. As I mentioned, some of the it revolution authors of some of our favorite books are having an ask me anything session, check out slack for more information on that. And now one final parting thought lesson that we can learn from donuts and croissants. Yeah. Hear me out, hear me out. So imagine you're at the virtual happy hour tonight, and you're engaged in a discussion.

00:03:36

You haven't drink in your hand maybe. And you're talking to the group about the day now a new person joins your group. Well, how does your group feel to that newcomer? Does it feel kind of closed off and unwelcoming of new conversations kind of closed off like a donut or is it more like a croissant, more open and welcoming of new people and new topics and new contributions? So the lesson I want to leave you with before we all go to the happy hour is this don't be a donut. All right. With that, have fun at the happy hour tonight. And if I don't see you there, I'll see you back here tomorrow for opening remarks at 8:30 AM Pacific time, either way, I'll see you soon.
