> Any interesting memories from that day in 2013?

That day is forever engraved in my memory... Off the top of my head:

I signed up for a lightning talk expecting an audience of 10-20 people, for a confidential demo of our unfinished project that we had so far only showed in 1-1 demos. Imagine my surprise when I learned Pycon does lightning talks on the main stage!

The previous speaker didn't show, so I started early. In the recording you can hear me joke that perhaps I should get his time allocation too - the MC was not amused.

I went over time and had to speedtalk through the end.. The MC once again was not amused and practically shoved me off stage :-D

We had a small sponsor booth at the even, where our small marketing team was prepared to pitch our product (DotCloud) but was thoroughly confused when a horde of people showed up after the talk, to ask about "Docker" - which as far as they knew was the founder's side project.

I drove down to Santa Clara on my newly acquired motorcycle - my very first trip on the freeway. I remember telling myself, "today is the day to take all the risks!"
