It was an awesome meet up. Interesting people and interesting talks. Dave, thanks a lot for organising.

Also excited I met Jari, who is the author of watir-webdriver and is working on ruby bindings for webdriver.

yep cheers dave, that was a good one. Just a pity I'd eaten before I arrived!

Great presentations from everyone, particularly the mobile testing.

Awesome meetup. Great venue & food & stuff, good conversation (and the wisecracks about Eclipse vs IntelliJ). Definitely want to see the details of how to fly the helicopters with Selenium -- alert the MOD! And the Selenium 2 demo OF mobile testing... sort of, erm, where's the video of that? :)

Thanks guys it was a great session.
It was great to here questions and interest in Twist.
The Canvas session was cool.
(Not sure where the rumour that Google paid for the food and drink came from. Maybe we should send them an invoice ;-) )

I found the presentations very informative. Some very interesting information came out of last nights event.

Thanks for the organising, and Thoughtworks for the venue.
