just wanted to call out that we were aware of that and we worked with the viago fir on that and then if you've mistakenly taken a photo that includes other people and they had asked that you remove it or delete it or blur it please do so thank you just reminder that our t-shirt charities this year if you haven't already gotten yourself a shirt go we still have various sizes left so please stop by coat check all proceeds benefits three deserving charities so you can pick which one you want to give the proceeds towards we have the e FF hackers for charity and hack so I'll be announcing during closing ceremonies how much we've been able to

raise for each of those so please take the time go buy a shirt money goes to charity so happy to help out and just a reminder like this would not be possible without all of our mini sponsors this is in this is San Francisco it is the most expensive place in the u.s. for to live and event spaces are very expensive putting the conference on for us to to give everything we do for such a low cost ticket it requires a lot of money from our sponsors and so we really do appreciate them and want to make sure that they feel welcome so let's give a round of applause to all of our sponsors and
