The google wave in the introduction mail seems broken and I failed to discover it from within. Can anyone post a working link please?

I'm sure there will be a few tweets. I'll set up a Cover It Live to capture them. We had been using #bfong (Brighton Future of News Group) until now...

Sarah Booker LewisOrganizerI enjoyed Jo and Simon's presentations, and I'm particularly keen to add a few pictures to Wildlifenearyou.com.
Before the evening started I had been a little nervous about the group activity, but it was much better than I thought it would be.
-
John KeenanA very informative first session. Good speakers, intelligent audience, lots to learn and digest.
-
Jo WadsworthI really enjoyed Simon Willison's talk - he spoke with a great deal of passion and humour about his subject. And the breakout sessions were good too - it might be good to spend more time on these, perhaps swapping tasks, or bringing some kind of competitive edge into it? All in all, a very promising start, and I'm really looking forward to the next one.
-
Rob MansfieldTwo very different, but informative talks, plus the chance to meet a variety of different people with news and journalism at the core of their interests. Looking forward to the next one.
-
Steve BustinEven better than I expected - interesting people, great speakers and one of the first group exercises that hasn't just made me cringe!
-
Christian McGintyIdeally i'd like to see this meetup as a bi-monthly event. Will be interesting to see how it progresses.
