    John, you looked different for some reason when you presented. Seriously, very useful presentation. I am already looking for ways to use Turk around here.

    I really enjoyed the session and appreciate everyones time. I felt that I learned quite a bit. If there was one thing I would say we might want to consider in the future, is to manage questions and sidebar discussions until after the demo. That way, everyone in the group has the opportunity to learn what the topic of the meeting was intended for, as opposed to hearing a lengthy discussion which is off topic.

    As expressed in the meeting, a little too much to handle all at once. But still a great job by good presenters and an excellent discussion.

    This session was informative. I wish we had more time to go over more aspects of EC2.

    With this being my first AWS event (and ITA event), I was extremely pleased with my experience. In addition to a very interesting talk Rick Pittard from BP, the group was very inviting as a whole. I will definitely be back!

    It was great to hear Rick's insights on how BP has used Amazon Web Services and also their lessons learned over the last 3 years

  • Justin Grant
    This was great! Although many of the spectators were small businesses, it gives us an idea of what to expect to run into in the future, should we all continue to use it.

    I wish there had been more demonstration on actually getting onto EC2 and less on things like pricing.
