    •  Almost perfect meetup. Just short on pizza. 
    •  A fine agenda, I appreciate you guys setting this up. really interesting. Thanks! The presenters were all forthcoming and topical. Nirvana's product stood out for being well designed, fully implemented, and hugely useful (in specific but vital domains such as video). The backup presentation should have focused more on the Cloud aspects and less on the same 'ole backup stuff that we've seen before (tho that seemed well implemented). Fewer redundant comments from the SF moderator would have been nice, but I appreciate him stepping forward, its not easy.... Sebastian's summary was masterful. Hmmm, instead of just taking questions from the audience, at a demo session like this how about a format that asks for audience comments on the product with a 1 minute time limit? 
    •  A rather boring set of companies promoting their businesses. It would have been better to have just 2 or 3 companies talk about their offerings in teh context of cloud computing, rather than trying to do demos that were slow, buggy and somewhat irrelevant to the opportunities cloud computing offers. 
    •  Good overview of cloud computing services and middleware. Heroku started the night off right with a live build of an attendee list. Total of five minutes from concept to a live public app.

       Good session with interesting topic and speakers, but we need to work on time management a bit better. After more than 2 hours (~8:40) we weren't finished with the third of five sessions/demos. Otherwise, it was a very good event!

       It was nice to see presentations from not only different vendors, but also different different sides of the cloud (provider and consumer). 
    •  Great demos, interesting material. 
    •  Too many demos for one night -- I'd rather see a fewer demos but more in depth.
