003 Meeting Recap
Posted Jan 25, 2008 | 0 Comments | by Emily Bloom
Last night we gathered at Bronto’s inspiring office for our first “Lightning Sessions” meeting. If you missed it, you should check out the flickr photos and Wayne’s video. Attendance was awesome as the Refresh momentum continues to build - we had about 35 people come out. The Lightning Sessions approach was successful - presentation links are below. We hope to do Lightning Sessions about 4 times per year, but we have some ideas for improving the model next time around.
Our presenters were highly prepared and I think everyone left with something new to think about, but next time we’ll aim for more spontaneity and fewer bullet points (in fact, maybe no slides!), with the goal of making the night a bit more interactive. Lightning Sessions should be distinct from a typical presentation style and ideally, people would do demos and live coding. If anyone has input on these ideas, please comment. We’re open to suggestions. Thanks again to the presenters last night.
Wayne Sutton: Twitter for Fun and Profit
Patrick Reagan: How’s Haml?
Josh Vickery: Simple Gimp
Peyton Crump: Google Map API Tutorial Primer
Julia Kulla-Mader: Evaluating Drupal
And big thanks again to Bronto for hosting the meeting. The food and beverages were great, but the t-shirts and traveling brontos were even better. Any ideas for upcoming speakers or topics? Know of a company that might like to sponsor? Let us know! Thanks again to everyone for coming out.
