It was a great event and a lot of fun, thanks for putting it on.
Someone said I inspired them to apply to speak at more events, and then took off right away, after I barely caught their name. I'm flattered, but I'd love to know more of how and/or what you meant exactly. This was my first full-length (non-lightening) talk at a tech event, so concrete feedback is very welcome.

Tim, that would be me! I've been asked to speak at the O'Reilly Web 2.0 expo in NYC this fall on Google+ for Business. You mentioned you were going to giving the same talk at RubyConf in September and that you were building in more content. That inspired me to start speaking on Google+ now to refine my content. so by October, I'll have a nice working set of tested material. I've presented at other confs like SXSW and Blogworld. W2E is a big deal. Great talk!

Ben LindseyWasn't crazy about the anti-mongo sentiments of the group. Feels to me like golden hammer syndrome - when all you have is rails, everything looks like nails. The problem of data migrations needs to be solved for sure, but that should not discourage us from using the right tool for the right job. Cliff Moon was seriously money though. Hey troll -- you suck.

Jim FinucaneGood theme, good speakers, good audience, and spirited heckling. A great survey of community experience with the leading edge tax. The content and hospitality were both home runs, so thanks Stephanie, Dave, Jim.

TimVery informative and highly entertaining! Too bad no one from 10Gen was there to respond to some of the more serious issues experienced by the presenters...

Drew Dara-AbramsA comprehensive set of talks. Well done. Just what I needed to cure myself of the urge to try a fancy new datastore (cough, cough, Mongo, cough). And thanks to WellnessFX for the location and the catering--and for keeping their sales pitch to a minimum.
