## Opening
### Welcome everyone back for day 2

#### Broadcast transition to WORLDofPEACE (with static NixCon background?)

**WORLDofPEACE**
##### Greetings & good morning/afternoon/evening

##### Welcome
Hello again everyone. Welcome to the second and final day of talks

##### introduce self briefly again

A little about me, if you're not already familiar from interacting with the NixOS community:
* I'm NonBinary and my pronouns are they/them
* I've been with NixOS since 2018
I had a great sense of intuition that this would be a good place for me.
And couldn't have been more correct.
* The things I've achieved in NixOS, aside for being one of the top contributors for a couple of releases,
Have mostly been collective wins.
* I was co-release-manager for NixOS 20.03 and for 20.09, and I'd like to think I changed lots of stuff up for the better

##### Recap logistics to viewers
In case you've forgotten, here's a quick recap of the logistics of the conference:

We have 5 more talks today. They are 25 minutes, and the last 5 minutes of the talk speakers will have a short Q&A, but it's possible
that speakers could eat into that time.

The main way to particpate in the talk would be directing a question to a speaker during the Q&A.
You can do this by asking your question in #nixcon-qa, and @nbathum (our mod), will feed those to me so I can direct it to the speaker.
The main #nixcon channel is just for general and won't be watched for questions.
There are also breakout rooms for each talk and we'll be **forcing** our speakers to move into these rooms after their talk ends.
Those will be announced at the closing of talks and linked by @nbathum in #nixcon on Freenode. And you can continue to have further discussions
with them there if possible.
And lastly if you experience any technical difficulties please contact @nbathum in a PM and he will try his best to get back to you.
