George SissonThis was a fun event. I liked the brisk pace--with four speakers it means that, even if you're not terribly interested in one presentation, you can remain politely engaged for eight minutes ;^D. I thought the company doing the ultra-thin, kerf-less silicon wafer production was fascinating--g
ood choice!
I also really appreciated the opportunity to get up and use the open-mike time to promote my business--if I get just one new client out of this context, it will be well worth the time spent.
I think (whenever possible) keeping the presenters organized by theme (e.g. alternative energy/green industry) lends to the most cohesive event structure and (apparently) attracts the larger audiences.
Keep up the good work!

Bart TeeuwisseTo make it to a 6:30pm meetup I don't have time for dinner. This meetup -- unlike a past meetup I attended didn't offer any food. For a 3hr event at this time in the day I would appreciate if food was provided.

Steve MoffettI was happy with the topics and product demo's that were presented. It is a grat way to show the public what is going on in technology locally. It is also a great way to have the folks in the MeetUp help with the Beta and evaluation period. Early feedback and course correction is valuable any product success.
