Raymond was a great speaker and really knows his stuff! I learned a lot. Only negative was they ran out of pizza I was counting on for food.

i really enjoyed raymond's speaking style and attitude. he made the entire presentation enjoyable regardless of its content. on top of that the material was very informative and useful.

Raymond was engaging and the content was very helpful. I'm only a few weeks into learning Python, but he was able to convey concepts in a humorous and provocative way that kept me interested and learning throughout.

Was hoping itd be more technical. It was too rehearsed from his usual talks with less technical folk. Some of the more interesting things like the yielding generators he breezed by which was something very neat. Overall though learned a lot.

I thought this was the best technical talk I have attended outside a university, and it matched some of those. I would have enjoyed having more prep materials to look at before the talk, but I would love to hear him speak again.

Awesome talk and great speaker. My one suggestion: get more pizza last time, it ran out in ten minute of this 3-hour event :(

James: I've added another 50 on eventbrite. If anybody RSVPed yes and doesn't plan to attend, please change your response!

Any chance you can open up another 50 spots on evenbrite so that those of us who haven't rsvp'd on eventbrite yet can do so?

Greg: It looks like the limit was set differently on eventbrite (150) and meetup (> 150). We've hit 150 on eventbrite (189 here), plus there are typically 20-30 Yelp engineers who come up, so we are looking full. I think this is the first time we've had enough RSVPs to notice the discrepancy.

Yony: we have been recording the last few at Yelp. The trouble is that we have two streams - one of the speaker and one of the screen and we haven't had time to edit them together into a single stream. Does anybody want to volunteer to do it every month?

Eventbrite seems to be out of tickets but the meetup.com still allows RSVP?
