    Looking forward to it!
    Feedback for the organizers: It seems as if the Google "Add To My Calendar" link incorrectly adds the event from 12 to only 1pm. I had to manually extend it until 9:30pm. Perhaps this can be fixed so that it adds correctly? Thanks!

    Thanks, Howie - Meetup doesn't currently allow you to set an end time (it just assumes it's 1 hour long). I just voted up the request to allow end times here, so maybe they'll add it :) http://meetup.uservoice.com/forums/37079-ideas-and-sugges...

    Will the simulcast be available live on the web for those who can't go to NERD from 12 - 9:30 pm?

    John, the agenda in the link you sent has a complete different schedule, starting at 9:30-5pm, while it says 12-9p here?

    If anyone wants to chat in real time with anyone at the meet you should download Free Ice Breaker on your iPhone or android. It's free! Great for networking!
