Keith NormanOverall the meetup was great. Both presentations that I saw (advanced session) were interesting and I liked that they covered topics that I have not worked with myself (yet) - Bookmarklets and Selenium. Also, kudos to the providers of the beer; that was win. My only suggestion is to be a bit more vegetarian-awa
re with the pizza selection or at least mark which ones are veggie :/ Overall I love this group though and it's quickly becoming my favorite tech meetup.

RondeHuggins was great. <br /><br /> Brian? and Vlad were good, but the novelty of a speakers adds life. <br /><br /> Again, there is little to critique... the room being longer than wide taxed the visually challenged. <br /><br /> Most of the food was eaten--which implied that planning was better.

Nag Sayala+1 guestThis is simply superb! All the experts did a great job of presenting really good stuff - keep up the great work See you all next time!

Tony WongThis was my first meeting and it was fantastic. I just wish I was able to stay to the end. Brian Moschel's JavaScriptMVC talk was excellent - I appreciated it as a JS newbie. So was Vlad's bookmarklet talk. While I already knew about Selenium, it was neat the creator talk about this very cool testing framework.

Michael John BarnicleThis was my first meetup with this group and I found it very worthwhile. A lot of very smart, nice people. Look forward to the next meetup.

Great job by Kumar & Karl (the film crew) and Monty (the photographer). Next time we'll stick to our schedule better and introduce the speakers. All the talks go over time, so we'll get a big "Wrap it up B" sign to hold up in the back :)
