First, thanks to Tatyana and the panelists.
I was at the Santa Clara location. I think the initial distraction with the remote presence technology and the glitches with the video feed is the initial cost of building community infrastructure. They will go away as we repeat it.
As for content, I think the conversation was good, but could be more focused with a smaller number of panelists (3 or 4) for a smaller than 2-hour window, more focus on Q&A. We could probably skip long introductions since the panel profiles are published to the audience prior to the meeting.

The live streaming video was terrible... it was constantly starting and stopping which made it very difficult to watch and to understand what was being said. Also... there was no focus to the conversation.
July 14, 2010
For the first time we run this meetup across 3 states in US connected via CISCO Public Telepresence Suites, across the world via WebEx, Livestream and Twitter. Awesome job everyone!

Good overview of the breadth of issues related to CRM. Would like to see a discussion of best practices (as opposed to case studies) and perhaps a discussion about how to set up metrics that will make all corporate "customers" happy.
