“ This group is a great group for the events they put on, but their once-a-month social meetup at waves coffee house is just a big waste of my time. The way everyone sits down at the tables does not allow for social interacting. For a meetup group they are very anti-social. ”

“ Thanks to Guy for his efforts in promoting and coordinating the group. An insertion in T-Net does help make more people aware of VANDEV. Keep up the good work. Thanks to Guy for hosting the meeting and to Kim for getting the books. This is a great group as you can learn about new technologies, ideas and the people who create them. You can share your knowldege, easily and comfortably network with the attendees. Be ready to do your 30 second to two minute pitch on what you have to offer in the way of skills and what you might need in the way of help, the job or position you seek, or to learn of job opportunities. ”
