Hi everyone. Great to see so many people signed up for Episode 2.
It's true: JetBrains have sent a box full of swag to give away tomorrow night.
There's a mystery door prize to be given away. To be in the running, you need to make sure you arrive before the first talk, find me, and give me a business card with your name on it.
As an added bonus, the first ten or so to find me will also get a free JetBrains t-shirt. (Sizes subject to availability.) ; )
See you all there!
Graham.

Graham LeaAll the talks were excellent, as was the panel. I think this meeting hit a sweet spot that both newbies and experienced people could connect with. Hope we can keep doing that! It's also great to see people with a lot of knowledge being willing to share it with others. I thought some basic questions were answered with respect and great answers, not scoffed at. Start time and talk lengths were much better than the first meeting. I think we could finish the meeting a little earlier as that would give more people time to hang around and talk.

Looks like we are still waiting for someone to volunteer to share some of their commercial and/or production experiences with Scala.
Anyone keen?
