So I'll start again since I didn't have my mic on. Can you repeat the question? Hands up, all those with empty seats. Yep, yep. People at the back, you want empty seats?

Those were the empty seats. Are there more than enough empty seats for everyone? The original slide in the opening session had the 11 11th or something like that and that was supposed to be hex but it was actually 0x and it was supposed to be binary so I got it wrong altogether.

So I sort of fixed it on this slide. This alleged quote here by someone you don't really want to trust. I said that sometime ago saying that I really do like coming here

because basically there's a whole lot of smart people in one place and that's a real bonus. Did someone pick up my mouse and they're going to auction it off? I'll tell you what happened earlier. I was on my way to the bathroom so I put this down in front of someone and said I'll be right back in two minutes.

Ten minutes later I came back and it was gone. I was afraid it was going to be auctioned off. For the record that was my drink mug. These things are really cool, these Logitech mouse pointers because they've got things like this.

Bright lights, everybody follow. So, very interesting information this year. We had record attendance. So the previous record was 280 in 2015 and drum roll please.

For those listening, it's a tie in the record. It's 280 this year too.

I had so much fun with that slide this afternoon. And you came through, thank you. About this session is exactly the same as the opening session. There's a few points and then we'll have the auction which you didn't have in the opening session. But then we have the social

which you actually didn't have in the opening session. And then remember at the social tonight there's lots of space to spread out. It's not like say the Royal Oak where it's very confined. So there's lots more space. So tonight's social is brought to you by IEX systems.

There were a number of people here from Apple and they were also sponsoring and I want to say thank you very much. It's much appreciated.

If any of you live or frequent the DC area, meet BSD, sorry, the BSD con is every two years and it's coming up a year from now. Later on this fall is meet BSD and we'll talk about that later. But thank you Versine. They are the lanyard sponsors.

Tarsnap, anyone know Colin? Colin, you here? Colin, yeah, thank you Colin. There's a whole bunch of people here from the FreeBSD Foundation. Thank you very much.

I saw at least one Mellanox badge. Two? Two, thank you. And there's at least two or three here from Scale Engine.

The your.org people were here yesterday but they had to go home today. Thank you. Hardin BSD and NetBSD are here in numbers. And Six Feet Up and Sys5.

Thank you very much. I know your hands are getting tired but you know Drew and Warren, they hosted the doc sessions and they also did the registration. Thank you, Drew.

He's over here, somewhere here. Adam deals with the hotels. You don't know what a big job that is. Okay, I'm going to ask for a show of hands. Who has ever carried a box at BSD Can?

See, see. Who wants to carry it? Yeah, we will have a special session for all of those who have not carried boxes and feel left out. All we'll do is we'll get you to carry it from here over to here and there'll be a line on each end and you can carry it back over here.

Everybody, you won't feel left out. Who carried boxes this year? Thank you, appreciate it. If you've never been asked to carry a box, it happens about like this. Excuse me, you two are volunteered to carry boxes. Could you come with me please?

That's how it happens and thank you. Elizabeth, who was on the tours that Elizabeth was organizing? Elizabeth volunteers to keep all the non-conference attendees that come along to do various things

and it's a lot of work. Thank you, Liz. Now, the program committee. They're the ones that review the papers, the proposals that the speakers put in and this is about eight to ten hours work spread over about four weeks in January and February

and basically they decide what you see and I think they do a fairly good job.

Did you see that? I got it. Ready to stay? We're going to take a show of hands. Who stayed in the Lord Algone? Two, three, four, five. You're writing this down? Okay, five in the Lord Algone.

How many stayed in the extended stay? Okay, good. Marriott Courtyard? Good. One. Novotel? One, two, three, four. Les Suites? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, about twenty. Was the Wi-Fi in Les Suites better this year? Okay, so they did some improvements. Residents, who stayed in residents? That's a whole bunch, like everybody. Who stayed somewhere else?

Oh, yeah, I'll send emails.

If you don't know who Graf is, follow him on Twitter. He has more followers than most of us. There will be another slide later on that will lead you to the origins of Graf. This is Graf up here. Okay, so we'll get to that soon. But next, Benedict.

Where's Benedict? Benedict's here? Okay. You should come down because you're about to give a little blurb on the BSD hackathon at the Linux hotel. Thank you, Dan. Yeah, so if you're wondering, you're coming from a BSD conference and we're now talking about Linux.

Well, I keep it short. This is a training center that they called the Linux hotel way back when. This is basically where people can stay and have open source trainings during the week. But over the weekend, the rooms are empty. So they allow pretty much any open source projects to have weekend hackathons there.

So this is basically the hacker night on stereo. It's basically, they let people in for a very cheap price. I think it's 30 euros per night. And we want to have a free BSD, or not just free BSD, any BSD hackathon there. So this is conveniently placed before BSD Cambridge. Sorry. Thank you, Dan. And if you want to come to Europe and spend a couple of time there, then we can also come together to BSD cam, which is conveniently located.

That's why we made this the weekend before BSD cam. Thank you. Next. So if you guys have ever seen the BSD cam shirts, they include a picture of a demon falling off a punt, much like this one.

This is not actually a picture of Powell, but it's the inspiration for our evening social events. So please come to a BSD cam. It's a lot of fun. It's great to get in a room and hack through things and work through projects

and share information, all this good stuff that we just did at the developer summit here. So thank you. And coming up after those is Meet BSD.

They put out a save the date, October 19th to 20th, and they'll be at Intel on the Santa Clara campus in California. So like every year I have to go through this, and I'm getting sick of it. I have to go through some rumor control.

It is false news that the G7 exists merely as a front end for system development. There's no true to that. And there is no Google Summer of Code open BSD project for system D. That is not true. There was?

You're really not helping my jokes. And I have no comment about free BSD and net BSD in this regard. None whatsoever. And there is no Cabal. None at all. But there is this Twitter handle. I don't know.

Now, Grof. There's going to be handover of Grof. Grof goes from conference to conference. And in between each conference, Grof gets a different handler. And that handler is responsible for feeding and carrying of Grof until the next conference. So traditionally the current caretaker comes down and hands it over to the new caretaker.

And we find out who that's going to be. And the next conference that Grof is going to wind up at. Just that. Here. I'll hold Grof. Okay.

Yeah, everywhere. Three months ago I met Grof in Tokyo. Then I took him back to Taiwan. We have very good three months there. I'm very miss these days.

All right. All right. Now I bring him to Canada. And I'm going to hand him to the next keeper. So Andrew? Andrew Turner? Yes.

So just take it.

Sorry, Alan, what were you saying? Grof has a passport. This is his bag.

And he has lots of badges and even more clothes than both of us. So this is his bag. And when you pass – taking – close the border, be sure to show his passport to the immigration officer. And try to have a stamp on his passport.

Currently there is no stamps at all. We are trying every time when we pass immigration control. But currently never succeed. So please continue trying. All right? Yeah, his passport, his picture, and please read the first page.

Upon presentation of this official passport, the secretary of state of the Kingdom of Fluffy Friends and cutting companions

requests and requires the bearer be permitted to pass freely without debt or hindrance and to afford to bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary. Uh-huh. It looks very official to me, right?

So Grof, go with your new keeper. All right. Goodbye.

Yeah, Grof will next be visible at Cambridge, but I'm sure there will be photographs on his Twitter account of his actions and inactions over the next few months before that. So one last rumor. There is no public statement from the G7 regarding the work on system D.

I think that's terrible. I think they should, you know, come out with that. Okay. So now that all the, that's about 14 minutes through the beginning. No one told me anything about a foundation thing. I mean, you've got to tell me these things.

So it's me again.

Hi, I'm Benedict. It's become kind of a tradition to honor some of our FreeBSD developers who have been doing good work or sometimes even more work than was originally planned. So we have a couple of backpacks to honor these people. And the first one has been doing a lot of work in installer areas

or things like helping people managing their RC.conf better. So, and also was presenting a nice presentation here at this conference. So without further ado, I want to present the first back to Devin Teske.

Congratulations. Thank you for your work. Yeah, so the next one is an interesting person

because that person doesn't talk very much about the work that he's doing. So it's tedious work and it's always catching up and difficult and cross-project integration that's always difficult. I would love to hear him one day give a talk about all these efforts,

but he's basically sitting at a conference and just listening to the talks and doing a couple of commits here and there. But if he would give a talk, I'm sure he would swear and curse a lot. So I would ask our PF integrator, Christoph Provost, to come to the front.

Congratulations. I'd like to use the opportunity to advertise EuroBSDCon as well. I hope to see you all there, Romania's lovely that time of year. Yeah, excellent. That wasn't scripted.

Okay, next up. So now that we have the source people caught up, it's also important that we not only have a good operating system, but also there's a lot of applications for the operating system. Otherwise, it's just, well, I log in and I log out. I cannot do much. So it's important to have applications that work and the people that do all these works are called the porters.

We've been looking at the statistics for how many commits someone has made and how long they have been with the project. Particular names stuck up in our list here, so I would like to ask Steve Wiltz to come down to get his reward.

Where is he? Up here. He's one of the most prolific port maintainers and committers, and he's also doing a lot of help with continuous integration work, so congratulations and thank you.

Oh, and last but not least. Okay, so now we have an operating system. Now we have ports. People can use them very nicely. But committers have other needs. They need to communicate. They need to have infrastructure. They need to have machines to run build worlds all night long. And the people who are doing this kind of work are sometimes not getting the help.

Well, the help, sure, but not the thanks they would deserve, and there's one person who's doing this tirelessly and almost didn't make it to this conference, so I would like to ask Peter Whem for his thankless work to come down here.

Congratulations. Thank you very much. Thank you. Everything was fine. All right, thank you.

So I'd like to start the auction off with something very tasty. We have here, who provided this, please? It came from, it's from Portland.

Yeah, I should. Okay. The BC Can charity auction started off when some, I think it was some sponsors had some stuff that they didn't want to take home. So they gave it to me and said auction it off, and we auctioned it off. And in recent history, the proceeds has always gone to the auto-emission,

which is just a few blocks down the street. Sometimes we auction off serious stuff, like coffee. Sometimes we auction off trivial stuff, like henning. Oh, sorry. Wrong t-shirt.

For those wondering what the laugh here was. German engineering, parts interchangeable. Sorry, I pointed it at Philip.

I pointed it at Philip. I mean, the hair looks very similar. So anyway, back to the serious stuff. This is, I can't read it. It's Columbia, it's 12 ounces of coffee beans. Medium roast level. It's been washed, unlike us. It's a whole coffee bean.

So, this starts at five bucks. Who wants this for five? Five dollars going once. Five dollars, uh, ten dollars. Do I hear fifteen? Fifteen, fifteen over here. Fifteen going once. Oh, twenty. Twenty. Do I hear twenty-five? Twenty-five over here. Twenty-five going once.

Twenty-five going twice. Oh, wait. Who's our auction keeper tracker thingy? Yeah, just that. So, you see, this is another BSD can tradition, where I actually have a few sheets of paper to keep track of who buys what, and then I just find a volunteer to write it down and...

There we go. And here I have something more to auction off soon. Ooh. Oh, something more? Yes. Oh. So, what was the dollar amount I was at? Twenty-five. Twenty-five?

See? That's how it works. Twenty-five going once. Twenty-five going twice. Sold. Uh, can you yell out your name? Oh. Then, he doesn't know who to give it to. I love him. Okay.

We, we, we will take cash, we will take cheque. Doesn't matter what the currency is, so long as it's worth more than the dollar amount in Canadian. So, if you're American and all you had was twenty-five dollars American, we'll take that for the twenty-five Canadian. It's a fair trade.

It really is. You, you'll like it. Okay. Now, the most recent thing handed to me was a Pine 64. Ooh. Now, can someone tell me what this is, please? It's a computer. It's a 64-bit computer.

With the, with, with an Ethernet adapter. So, it's like a Raspberry Pi or anything like that. It's got USB connectors. Yes, it does. So, net, brand new, never been used. How much does this retail for?

Less than ten dollars. So, starting bid, twenty bucks. Twenty dollars here. Do I hear twenty-five? Twenty-five in the back. Thirty. Do I hear forty? Forty here. Forty dollars going once. Forty, uh, have fifty beside them. Fifty going once. Fifty going twice. Sold. Thank you very much.

Yell out your name, please. Okay. So, now we have really serious. We have maple bacon kettle chips.

Sorry? So, these are the, uh, chips bought with a meal voucher in Toronto from Air Canada. By Dr. Julie. Dr. Julie.

So, the other Dr. Percival. I'm confused. So, these should go for at least five dollars starting. Five dollars. Five dollars there. Do I hear ten somewhere? Ten dollars. Fifteen dollars.

Twenty. Twenty over here. They're very tasty. They're maple bacon. So, the bid was twenty dollars, I think. Do I hear twenty-five anywhere? Twenty going once. Twenty going twice. Sold. Thank you very much. Gonna run out of space.

Shout your name, please. Lorraine Ladd. Lorraine Ladd. Okay. So, here we have a very special t-shirt. Uh, it's not a t-shirt. It's a button-down shirt. And, and it's not just a button-down shirt. I'll stand on this side.

Go over this way so they get a better view. Can the camera see? Can the camera see? Yes. Okay. So. So, um, two years ago, George Neville Neal took off his shirt, and he auctioned it off. N.G. Cooper won the auction, and she sent it to me in a care package. I now have it before you, and I have collected signatures on it.

So, this is an official FreeBSD Foundation shirt, and on the left-hand side, you have the founding fathers. You have Kirk McKusick, Rod Grimes, Mike Carrolls, and, um, Sean, um, Fagan. On the right-hand side, you have the current standing core team.

At least standing for a few more weeks. And from the top down, you have Hiroki Sato, Benno Rice, Benedict Rushling, Alan Jude, Chris Moore, Baptiste Darasson, Ed Mast, and, let's see if I can read that, John Baldwin, Big Knife.

All right. What, what, what was this originally sold for here? It, I don't know. I wasn't here. Okay. Fair, fair enough.

So, that, that statement was, it's George Neville Neal's shirt may contain traces of George Neville Neal.

The question there was, does that increase the price, or not? We'll find out. Yes. DNA kit not included. Is there a reference sample? Okay.

Five dollars from Michael Lucas. Do I hear 20? 20 back here. Do I hear 30? Oh, come on. 30 over here. 30 dollars going once. 40 over here. 40 dollars. Do I hear 50? 50 over here.

For the record, for the record, that was, for the record, that was Jim Thompson asking what size is it. It is a large, 100 percent cotton.

Care on reverse. Okay. Sorry, what was the bid? 50 dollars over here. 50, do I hear 60? Do I hear 70? 80? Okay, 50 going once. 50 going twice. This is a steal.

Sold. Thank you very much.

Someone, someone lost a 20 dollar bill, and apparently there's rumors that we found out who it was. So, what? 10 dollars at the back. 15 from Peter.

What? 20 up there. Do I hear? 25. Michael Lucas. This is Bob Beck's 20 dollar bill, he says. Will he sign it?

Will he sign it? Okay, Bob will sign it. Just bid 2 dollars. Sorry, the price was 30 over here, wasn't it? 40 at the back. 5?

Did Hessler have the last bid? It was 40. 40? 30. Okay, sorry, sorry. Honest mistake. 30 going once. 40 from Peter. 40 going once. 40 going twice. Sold to Peter Hessler.

Thank you very much. Now we get on to real goodies. If this is what I think it is, I think anyone here will be able to use it. It is, and I read on the back, a 16,000 milliamp hour battery.

So basically it has two USB ports on the end for output and one there for input and this is a charging cable. So this must be worth at least what? 40 bucks? Retail? Okay. It's donated by systems.

So let's start off with 20 bucks. 20 bucks here. Do I hear 30? 30. Do I hear 40? 40 right here. 40 going once. 40 going twice. Sold to Mr. French? Do I have the names right? Percival. Oh, sorry.

I didn't want to say that. Okay. So continuing on with the infrastructure gear, I warned you at the beginning that if you leave stuff laying around it will get sold. And I see someone came around and collected their other power adapter.

It was an Apple power adapter. Who came and collected that? We'll talk later. So the owner of this is known. They came and asked for it. And I said, okay, on the condition you bring it back for it to be auctioned.

And very dutifully they came and gave it back to me for auction. So these are worth what? 80 bucks? So start the bid at $1. 20? 20 over here? What? 30 over here?

Eventually. Before the bidding is over, I'll tell you. Does that matter? You're depriving someone of their adapter. It does not matter what it is. Okay, for the record. For the record. It is a Lenovo something.

Lenovo Square. Lenovo. Lenovo. Okay, so. What was the bid? 30. 30 here? Okay. Do I hear 40? Can you tell us what project the owner is from? No. Not yet. Not yet. When the bidding stalls, I'll tell you. So we're 30.

30 going once? 40. 40. 40 over here. Okay, 40 going once. 40 going twice. The owner is of the OpenBSD project. 50! Immediately the bid went to 50.

Why? I don't know. So. 50. 50 going once. 60. 60 over here. So. The bid is now 60 dollars. So. 60 going once. 60 going twice.

I want to point out that the owner is Bob Back. And the current high bid is from Bob. Does that encourage anyone? 50 going once. 60. 60 going once. 60 going twice.

70. For the people listening at home. Bob is laughing. 60 going once.

70 going once. Bob has bid 80. Okay. 80 going once. 80 going twice.

Savage System D. It seems to be a theme this year. This is a book by Michael Lucas. And if you have not heard it or read it before, you should buy this and read it. It is a Botta stripper of types. It is unsigned.

That may increase the price. It may not. I am sure Michael will sign it if you ask. One dollar. One dollar here. 10. 15. 20. 30. 30. 30 dollars.

Yep. 30 going once. 30 going twice. Yell out your name. Constantine. Sold for 30 dollars. Thank you. This is the audio book from an account. Okay.

So sticking with the System D, this is the audio book of a reading of System D by George Neville Neal and Benno Rice. I can attest to the authenticity of this book because I was there when it was being read.

Just wait, just wait, just wait.

I have to catch up for those listening at home. Benno Rice says that George plays the lead character and that Benno plays System D. There are only four copies of this book in existence. One resides. Okay. So the other three copies.

Mike, there is a question at the back. We are not open for bid yet because I am not done with this story. Included with the book is a cat of nine tails fashioned from a metal pipe and cat

five cables. The cat of nine tails was made by Patrick. It also includes a VGA cable as one of the nine.

One item. The author says 10 dollars. Over here. 45. 100. 100 dollars from Alan. What?

120. 150. 200. 200 from Tom. Seriously? 200 going once?

Don't answer those questions. I think the audio recording went, I think it took about an hour, an hour and a half to do the audio recording. One hour and four minutes. It seemed like longer.

It sort of made me uncomfortable. The bid is 200. 250 from Alan. 251. I will only accept bids in increments of 20 now.

So go up to the nearest 10 or something and then we will go. So the bid is 251. 251 going once. 251 going twice. Sold. Thank you very much.

Yell down your name please.

Mike, is it okay if these go together? Would you rather sit? Okay. So we have here a...

Oh no. It's the other book. Yep. Sorry. With that other book. Not with this one. Okay so here we have a copy. Is this your latest book? It's one of your latest books. It's the second to latest book. It's the second to latest book. That will be a theme tonight. Just remember. So this is Michael W. Lucas' book, Ed Mastery.

Now included within it is a signature verified as being Mr. Lucas' and it actually contains an addendum. Did you do the addendum? Yes. I fixed the errata. He fixed the errata. He's actually handwritten the change of the words within the book. There is an error in the book. He's fixed it.

So this book has a price on the back of 9.99 so we'll start the bid at 5 bucks. Sorry? No, but I'm sure you can get him to sign it. Ed? Ed? There's Ed. Will you sign it for Jim if he's successful?

We can do an auction of the signature. So starting at $5 for the book. $5 here. Right here is $10. $10 over here. $15. $20 back here. $25. $30. $30 over here. $40 over here. Do I hear $50? $40 going once.

$40 going twice. Sold to Peter Hessler. Thank you. I'll leave the auctioning off of his signature to the two of you and then just give us the proceeds later. So in the meantime, we have a copy of Ed Mast by Michael W. Lucas.

This is the only one in existence? Five exist? Five exist. I have one exist.

The original files for this book have been destroyed. No more can be created. How many? On purpose. On purpose. They were destroyed on purpose so no one could ever recreate Ed Mast. Are you sure you weren't destroying one? Included with it. We'll ignore that one. Included with it is a coupon to give you 30% off all no starch direct purchases.

Porpoises. Porpoises. So the price on the back of the book is $99.99. So we'll start the bidding at $50.

$50 from Jim. Do I hear $60? Is there a sign? Not yet. No, it's not signed by anyone. Again, that would be negotiable. So $60 was over here. Do I hear $70? $60 going once. What?

Otherwise, we would need some other poor sucker to do his work. So there's a special note on the back. And exit now to the RY. So this is unique from the original book.

Differs uniquely. So where were we and what was the bid? It was over here? Somewhere? $60. $60 going once. $80 over here from Peter. $90. $100 from Jim. $100 going once.

$100 going twice. What? Sold. Jim Thompson. Thank you. All right. We're going back to the food. Coordination with that guy. There's a bonus content edition.

And Ed Masturi is a great book. It covered the original Unix editor. But there's a special edition that arrived. And I wasn't sure if he was serious. You can verify what's in here. Yes, I can. On page 37, The Art of War by Sun Tzu is slipped in there.

This is an Amazon error. I did not create this. Fast forwarding to after a good chunk of that is How to Make Shit Happen by Sean Whalen. I shit you not. Back to variations in tactics.

Where you take the high road and go after your enemies. And finally it reverts to searching in it. And it's a little thicker than the usual. Take it away. This book also sells for nine bucks. So we'll start the bidding at ten. Ten dollars.

Do I hear twenty? Fifteen. Twenty over here. Thirty back here. Forty. Fifty. Sixty. Seventy. Eighty. Eighty. Eighty going once. Ninety. Ninety going once. Ninety going twice.

Sold. Sold. Thank you. Your name please. So this belongs to BSDCan. It was left behind at the hackers lounge.

Someone said North America. So it was turned in as an auction item. It has a BSDCan label on it. I imagine this is one of the original ones we had from ten or fifteen years ago.

So we'll auction this off and you'll have a piece of BSDCan hardware. It works. It has a power switch, circuit breaker type thing on it. Surge protector. That's the word I'm looking for. So. Twenty bucks?

Are you saying it works by plugging it in? Yeah. It does. That is exactly how it works. It's self powering. So. Twenty bucks. Who wants this for twenty bucks? Twenty bucks from Allen. Do I hear twenty-five? Sean. Twenty-five. Do I hear thirty?

Thirty. Twenty-five going once. Twenty-five going twice. Oh. Thirty in the back.

So. It does work. It's been proven. Let's just raise the price. Bid was here right? Okay. And you put your hand up so you. You. Putting your hand up actually is a bid sir.

So twenty-five going once. Thirty over here. Thirty going once. Thirty going twice. Sold. Thank you.

I think it was about seven hundred and eighty dollars. So we have the last free BSD Foundation t-shirt for sale.

It is a large. Extra large. You've all had a chance to look at these so there's no description. Ten dollars going once. Ten. Twenty. Twenty. Yeah. Okay. Ten. Ten going once. Fifteen. Twenty. Twenty going once.

Twenty-five. Twenty-five going once. Thirty. Thirty going once. Thirty going twice. Sold. You recognize his voice by now?

Love BSD pillow. So who said that? A hundred dollars. A hundred dollars. A hundred and twenty. A hundred and twenty. Sorry. Put your hand up please when you bid. One thirty. Yeah. Paypal. Credit card.

Whatever. Sorry. One thirty. One thirty. One fifty. BSD Taiwan mascot is on the other side. One thirty was it? One fifty. One sixty.

One seventy. One seventy. One seventy going once. One seventy going twice. Sold to Devon. Thank you. Now we have something very serious to sell here.

We always talk about the last cookie being sold. This is a chocolate chip cookie.

It might be oatmeal. Who can tell the difference?

This is baked today. Oh good. That looks like chocolate chip to me. Yeah it does. Okay so I was telling my confidence coordinator that, do you know what, we auctioned off the last cookie. And she said really? And so she asked me, you know, are you, I told her that for PG Con because we sell off the last cookie there too. And she said, are you auctioning off the last cookie because you can?

I said yes. And then a few minutes later I backed her and said, are you thinking of making a very big cookie? She said exactly. I said well that's such a good idea. So in the meantime, the last cookie I was going to. So this is a very special cookie.

I think you all agree. You can share it with your friends and still have lots left over. So let's start the bidding at twenty dollars. It's very special. It is so special. Twenty dollars here. Twenty five. Thirty over here. Forty. Forty dollars to Alan.

Forty going once. Forty going twice. Fifty over here. Alan, it's a good cookie. You know my policy. Sixty going once. Sixty going twice. Sold to Alan Jude.

There's a very special item in here that I think we should go over first. But the sort of phone, oh here it is. I have in my hands a small paper napkin.

Inside it contains something of very special value. It is a gelato spoon. It is a gelato spoon whose providence traces back to Michael Lucas.

This gelato spoon has been used by Michael Lucas. And secretly and confidentially transported to this auction.

I believe the bidding, I believe the bidding was at twenty dollars from Michael Lucas. Sorry, what was the question? Michael Lucas will sign it.

Twenty five from Peter Hessler. Thirty from Michael Lucas. Thirty going once. Thirty going twice. Forty from Bob Beck. The cake is a lie. Thirty, thirty, forty, forty.

Forty going once. It's been pointed out that this is a grow your own author kit. Forty going once.

Fifty going once. Fifty going twice. Sixty from Peter Webb. Sixty. Sixty going once. Sixty going twice.

Seventy going once. Seventy going twice. Sold. I told you you were at some conference you'd never been at before.

This was the last cookie. This is the second last cookie. And we do this every year and it gets a big laugh just like this.

Last name there please? Come to the special prize. Penning... Oh, the pen. We'll do the pen first Henning, please sit down. Have I forgotten anything else to sell off?

I've got the pen here. The pen. This is the tilted windmill press which comes with a little maze inside. The story behind this is it was sold once at this auction, then brought back by the same person, sold again.

So this is... This is... Oh, that one. So this is the fourth time this has been sold here.

Yeah, it's also in the book. And it's in the book. Which one? Get Commit Murder? This is the pen that is in Get Commit Murder. This is the pen that is in Get Commit Murder. The pen.

Two balls in the maze. Two twenty from Peter. Jim. Two twenty going once. Two twenty going twice. Sold back to Peter Hessler.

I just want to make sure that we've gone through everything that we had to sell. Yep. We have a bunch of pens here. So what we're going to do is we're going to auction them all off. And everyone who is successful can sell them to other people.

Because, you know, we're getting close to our time. Twenty bucks going here. So whoever wins the bid gets all the pens and gets to auction them off to other people and give the proceeds. Well, do whatever you want with them.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight pens. Twenty bucks here. Fifty down here. Eighty. Eighty going once. Eighty going twice. Sold to Brad. Thank you. Anything else before I go into the last and most popular item?

We're selling Henning. And it's very important. This is a tradition at B.S.G. Can. It started a couple of years ago. I don't want you to see. Do you know what's in here? You haven't seen it yet? Okay, so don't look yet.

So what we do is we auction off a t-shirt. But it's not the right, it's not the t-shirt that you're auctioning off. You're bidding to make Henning wear this t-shirt. And then only tonight. In previous years, he has worn what t-shirts? What were the previous t-shirts?

The first was something Linux. Yeah, I love Linux, I believe. I love an awkward Linux toilet on the back or something. Last year was I love FreeBSD. And then all through the night, Henning will allow you to take a photograph of him in the t-shirt for ten bucks. Previous years, it was only five bucks. It was always ten.

It was always ten. So this year it's twenty? Is that what you're saying? When you see the t-shirt, it'll be worth the twenty bucks. So you get to take a photograph of Henning in this t-shirt. No peeking.

But the thing is, we have to first convince him that he's got to wear it. So we have to bid something a lot. Of course, you've got to bid last year. Two hundred. So we've got to get the price up over two hundred before he'll even wear this. And then you get to take the photographs of him in that t-shirt.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Two hundred going once? Two hundred going twice? Come on.

Whoever wins gets the first picture. No, that first picture is free. Two fifty over here? Two fifty going once? Two fifty going twice?

Two seventy-five. You will see the shirt. Oh, you want to see it before you bid on it? You'll see it now.
