Now I thought let me start with a small personal story and as Christian sat in working for sister a lot with open source and so on but my passion in the past was in gaming who played Counter Strike. Wow I've never seen so many people I've asked this already a couple of times that's my favorite conference and I was damn good. So I don't know how many kills I made and perhaps we've met somewhere you know on the stage but um at some point in time I was very disappointed because let's see how the clicker is working. Because this guy, this guy, what is that? Um, because you know this guy joined the game, Jobot. I was back then 16

years old and started to research about Jobot and damn it was a guy younger than me, 15 years old from another city in Germany who wrote this bot as part of his a tour which was crazy and you can still find the paper on archive.org. Amazing right?
