I had a great day and learnt a lot. I thought the early discussions were very useful Like many who aren't familiar with package management, or only have a passing acquaintance with NuGet, I didn't properly grok the problem that package management addresses. So not only did I gain a deeper understanding of the value of package management, I was in a much better position to get the most out of the hands-on session and the discussion with Sebastien. I also thought the format ensured that the more laconic attendees had their voices heard. I now have a much better understanding of OpenWrap's role, not merely consuming 3rd party code but as an internal tool for managing complex projects. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn from other developers and from a recognised leader in the field. So a big thank you to Alan for organising the event and especially to Sebastien for making the trip to Cambridge. -
Not wanting to be too critical, but for a meetup titled “hands-on workshop” I feel there wasn’t much hands-on. There was a little, and I got a good impression of OpenWrap during those minutes, but overall too much time was spent just talking. In fact, a substantial amount of time was spent discussing what to discuss...— Timwi

A very insightful and useful day. Before the event, I had an idea that package management might be a solution to a specific problem I am having, but after attending I am certain it is. The morning took the form of a group discussion about why there is a need for package management and what problems it can solve, followed by a hands-on session to get OpenWrap set up and integrated with an example project. After lunch, Sebastien demoed the new version of OpenWrap, some of its new features and how it has fixed some of the problems that were present in the previous version. We also had lots of good talk about the specifics of how OpenWrap can solve the issues that members of the group were having. -

For a cancelled event we had a nice turnout. More casual than normal and had some good discussion over coffee & lunch. Nice 2 have some company while I did some catch up coding of my own. -
Got my mac talking to a borrowed kinect. I'll post some video when I get round to it. -
We talked a bit, but not much collaborative coding went on...

I didnt expect anyone to join me because I posted the invite only 3 hours before we met and four of us had a great chat in the sun, about data visualisation which led on to us agreeing to plan a Javascript data visualation event for Camdug. Looking forward to that! ;-p

We spent a while getting Nick set up with the various tools, etc., and got the PhoneGap client into GitHub (be sure to update your fork to get this code). The PhoneGap client is now correctly talking to our Rails service using HTTP+JSON; next we need to work out how to parse the JSON response correctly.

Learnt a lot while having a good time. It was a great to benefit from the experience of masters in this field. I really appreciated the effort of the organisers and hosts in making the event such a success.

I really enjoyed the people and the format of the workshop. Lots of thanks for the organization. Hope to see all of you soon. -
Excellent day. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I'd like to have spent some time looking at how to apply TDD to web development.

Had a great time; well worth travelling to Cambridge to participate in the event.

We generally organise events as people have ideas, or as sponsors and guest speakers are available, rather than having a regular schedule. Hack days are popular: getting together to learn about a technology through hands-on coding. Check out the past events if you want to know what else we've done. If you have other ideas for things that might be fun, feel free to post them.
