Great crowd, but a really agonising presentation setup; 111 Minna just isn't good for presentations, it seems. They couldn't raise the volume to a point (without getting feedback) where I could hear in the (near) back, and of course the people talking just behind me (because they couldn't hear at all, to be fair to them) didn't help. I ended up skipping out for dinner and coming back for drinks with some of the great folks you'd invited. So the crowd; awesome, but the presentation setup still needs work. Unfortunately I don't have a great suggestion, here.
On the content, I didn't think much (well, I couldn't hear it) of the stilted panel, and preferred the 'rant' format of last time, but I do think that experimenting with different types of presentation is a good idea.
Overall I think this is a service to the community and thanks for putting it on!
