Tony is not only a great guy, he is very talented and knowledgeable. I am really looking forward to this meeting, esp. because it is in Plano instead of Lower Greenville! I am sure I will learn a lot. John Mauldin

DB FergusonI thought the presentation by Tony was fantastic, and it looks like the location (north Dallas) really made a difference in the attendance numbers. It was really great seeing so many new faces and being able to see how many other locals were using WordPress. However, I would suggest moving the meet-up to a different location that has stronger WiFi connections. Too many of us had problems with the WiFi which made it hard to take notes and check out the information that was being presented.

A.J. WoodI was glad I could make a meeting for a change, and not worry about any schedule conflicts. It was a great event, and I was excited to meet folks personally that I've caught or connected with online.
-
Matthew McGarityWell-organized, decent setting, and very engaged participants. Only issues were service, which I imagine is difficult for a room of 40 people -- perhaps having people order before the meeting starts and pay in advance might help. Also reminding people to bring a donation to support the Meetup is helpful -- I didn't have any cash, so I couldn't contribute. :(

Rob HolmesIt was very well organized. Tony did a great job. His interest in others really shows. I look forward to more.

DanThe people were good. The topic was good, although presentation needs a little improvement. WiFi sucked.
-
Charles McKeeverThe room was packed with great people who were all doing creative things with WordPress. It was a blast to have back to back conversations about blogging with WordPress. I especially liked that I got to talk to a non-Profit organizer, a political consultant, a Colbert fan site developer, an eBay affiliate, a sustainability writer, a multimedia grad student, an ex-Mashable technologist, and a Spanish blogger all in the span of one two hour session. You can't beat that, especially for free.
