    •  For a first meeting, I thought it went well overall. Turnout was a bit low. Dave Wright's presentation was great. The technical detail and first hand experience were very interesting. I already knew a good bit about AWS, but I still learned a lot. At the same time, it provided a good introduction to AWS for those not already familiar with it. John's cloud talk presentation was cut short due to time, but I got the general impression that it was targeted more toward a business and less technical audience. I would have preferred much more of a tech focus. Although there was nothing new to me in the content, it sparked some very interesting discussions regarding the meaning of the term "cloud" and how to classify cloud-related companies, products and services.
