    lots of hype but little content.

    Scott, thanks for the great work. This week my company was looking to make an announcement on job openings. Rather than doing job posters/seekers as one-off announcements at the end of presentations, would you consider having all employers/seekers have a designated spot in the room to meet up after the presentations? It's a little tough to be that focused in a bar setting afterward, as not everyone goes for this reason. Seems to me this is one potentially huge benefit of the group - for employers and job seekers - it'd be a shame to miss out on matching up people and opportunities. Thanks.

    need to qulaify better - mind petal was really weak.....also, at the end make sure the people who are anouncing things spell their web sites - i.e. was it rockettwo or raketu? i could not catch the MIT guys web address and have not seen his post anywhere...which is frustrating as his offer is of interest...

    Good networking and met very imformative people. Presentations were varied and interesting.
  • Steve Eisenberg
    want to see panel discussion at a future meetup.
  • Nicolas VDB
    Scott did a good job at MC, but some of the presentations were weak. I wonder if voting is a good system, or if Scott's enlightened dictatorship of the past worked better.

  • Sara Holoubek
    some of the presentations were not up to normal tech meetup quality
  • Daniel Hallac
    overall the demo's were boring and uninspiring.
  • Michael Kniat
    Would like to have had a chance to make my 30-second plug (was #6 in line). Will have to storm the stage next time, I guess ;)
  • Prashant Desai
    Presentations are great, but the social communial experience is lacking.
  • Lawrence Horwitz
    Interesting hearing the presentations, but there wasn't much of a "meet" part of the meeting -- not much networking going on.
  • Timothy Bentley
    I was disappointed by this month's meet up. I thought the presenters didn't do very well and clearly could have benefited from a little guidence (audience expectations, tips on presenting). Honestly, even Scott seemed a little off and I don't think he communicated very clearly with the presenters or the audience (unplugging the first presenter's computer while he answered a question, asking the audience for what we could imagine the product being used for). Was it the rain?
