Outro

• Elan - was aware of 2d to 3d conversion, wasn't aware of the voice-to-image and it was awesome to see! Want to help productionize.
• Daniel - Erik polished up the thing(s)
• Francesco - amazed by the [
• Robert - TIL noisebridge has a k8s cluster!! wanna contribute to that
• Dia (sp) - learned that community people can contribute in a really decentralized way, want to see more permaculture
• Doug - nice to see what people are working on demos --
• Mayowa - nvtop (not just nvidia specific, works intel, amd).
• Ethan - delighted by the community, self-hosting, running models
• Perry - first meeting, learned about voice2image -- now want to, plan to do a DnD session in earshot of this.
• Chris - quite cool how ready to print those 3d models from the image are
• Derek - want to see more applications of webhooks, happy to see Elan's projects, want to see more bounties
• Topher (sp) - like the demos, look forward to poking around. Wiki games, play to waste some time on that
• Jeanie - would like to listen in
• Erik
• Kevin - impressive projects tonight, intend some similar things
• Shawn - enjoyed: lots, webhooks, model hosting; interested in anything agentic -- collab with me
