    It was great to meet so many Selenium users in London! I really enjoyed chatting with a wide range of Selenium users - from those that haven't used it yet and wanted some advice on getting started, to some that are really into the advanced uses and have even written their own patches and improvements to the projects. The unplanned 'Selenium free' table was a success, where a number of members preferred to socialise with other Selenium users without directly discussing the products at all! I think that added to the friendly and social atmosphere of the night. Special thanks to the sponsors - Paul Humphreys from Clear Cube Consulting, and Phil Smith from Cloud Testing - for coming along (and covering the food and drink costs) and thanks *everyone* that came along for making it a great night!

    It was a good intro to the things to come in the future meetup. It was a friendly gathering with lot of chit chat not necessary about Selenium but also about interests outside work. Met a bunch of guys with similar interests, would like to keep in touch with them. Did not have the chance to speak to everyone as some left early but it was a good experience overall. Can't wait for the next gathering. Hope there will be other attraction(s) apart from the food next time. Thanks to the organiser(s) and the sponsors who made this all possible. My message to sponsors is keep on funding these events it has some hidden rewards. My advice to the organiser is advertise the event much widely. Regards Mohinder

    Would have like to see people giving demos. Was more of a networking event. Friendly bunch of people. Sponsers of event were very generous with food & drinks. A shame to see so much food go to waste at the end. A lot of people didn't turn up.
