SAVOIA: The fact that the organizer of GTAC give James Whittaker the octomom of software
test publishing a full hour to peddle his books and his lame ideas and me the author
of the much more valuable "Testivus" only five minutes to record a video is completely
unconscionable, unacceptable, unbelievable and absolutely unfair. If you know what I
think, I think that you can take James's book, roll it up and...and by the way, if you think
you can cut me off after five minutes, you got another thing coming. Hello there, this
is Alberto Savoia, I'm sorry I cannot be there with you today but Google sent me to some
management training. As part of my training, I'm supposed to make amends to the people
whom I've hurt as a result of my anger and so I'm here to officially apologize to James
Whittaker. I am sorry I called you a B-list speaker. I'm also sorry that I called you
the octomom of test book publishing. Sorry that I said that your papers, your books and
papers should be recycled and made into adult diapers. Please accept my apologies, I guess
I'm just jealous because you've managed to write a ton of books that were published by
Addison Westley whereas my booklet, the Way of Testivus was self-published and printed
by KingCo. You richly deserve the hundreds of dollars that you make each year from the
publishing of your books. So I hope that this counts as a good, formal and public apology
so I can back to my anger training and also I want to introduce you my former good friend
and colleague, Dr. James Whittaker, you're going to be treated to his key note presentation
to close GTAC where I'm going to be treated with some electro-shock therapy. As this point,
I'm not sure which one of us is luckier. Thanks again, enjoy James' talk and James, thank
you for being a good sport. Hope to see you and [INDISTINCT] soon. Bye-bye.
