This group is ran very professionally. That is a good starting point.
Everything was timely. Attendance was free. Pizza was abundant. The crowd was lively.
Downfall: Some reason my gmail account emails got dropped at a rate of 1 out of 3. We do not know if that is from a spam filter or some other issue.
All in all, I want to forward my gratitude to the board, members, and attendees, for this opportunity I had to present.
I'll post slides and code shortly here.
I have also given copies to the group for it to be posted to their site.
