The author mentions my talk in the list of ones to watch ("Open Source on Easy Mode"), but the actual presentation did not go well due to technical difficulties. I made the brave mistake of bringing only my iPad to present with, and apparently it was refusing to output 1080p, which resulted in squashed output of my slides in their A/V system. And delays while trying to fix it meant I had to give my talk on a compressed timescale. I had to talk even faster than expected, and still needed to elide some bits at the end. Lessons learned, I guess!
I'm planning to re-record the talk on my own at some point soon, but until then, all of my slides and examples, and the full script for the talk, are available on my github repo. Hopefully there's something useful there for everyone:
