It was a great start. Having a Spring employee speak really lent credibility to the group's potential. Thanks to Kate @ eHire for setting it up. I suggest having Mark Fisher speak about Spring Integration if possible for one of the upcoming meetings.

This was a great meetup. The information was presented clearly and concisely, the turnout was great, and Spring 3 is absolutely amazing.

Great group, great topic, great speaker, great organizers! Only things not so great were location and parking ($7, ouch).

It was a great meeting! I heard Keith was a good presenter and yesterday I had the opportunity to listen to his presentation in person. It was definitely worth the trip. I am glad I made it to the meeting. Thanks to Kate & eHire for putting it all together. And thanks for the pizza!

I really enjoyed the meeting. It was very informative and Keith Donald was a great presenter and got into the nuts and bolts of Spring 3.0. Hat's off to Kate for starting the group. I thought the turn out was great for it to be the first meeting. The venue was top notch. The only downside was the cost of parking, but otherwise very well done!

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

Keith did a great job of providing an overview of Spring 3.0 features. I was particularly interested in his presentation of Roo. I had done some reading on Roo previously and was not clear on what it was or how it could be used. I now have a much better understanding and cannot wait to play!
