Joe HilgerI thought the meeting was very interesting. The speakers did a great job. I liked the way they interacted with one another. The products are very different from one another. That came across during the meeting. I would love to see another similar panel comparing and contrasting more similar products.
-
Ernesto GluecksmannI couldn't stay unfortunately for the whole thing, but honestly I thought Jasmine did a great job setting this up... well she always does. I'm going to attend these more often.
-
SeanGood event. Speakers shared valuable and interesting information. After presentation networking was useful, especially as speakers were available to join conversations and answer questions.
-
Joe FloodInteresting set of presentations from people who actually use the tools they're discussing. It was very helpful, because it was an honest discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of Drupal, Alfresco and Wordpress.
-
Steve GreenbaumThe speakers were very good. Just about the right amount of time for each - maybe could have been a little shorter. I liked that there was ample time before and after for networking.
-
GlennCGreat, focused speakers. They interacted with each other easily and presented the different content management systems as a choice, not a competition.
-
-
Chris HunterSolid presentations on widely used open cms platforms. The panel did a great job laying out the pros and cons of each cms and how they apply to sites with a variety of needs.
