Animesh Great feedback, I'd love to recycle the existing content. I also agree that we need to sprinkle or have dev sessions on CS to get developer support.
We should create a page for each meetup group on cloudstack wiki and mention what was discussed along with the slides/video used and any feedback that you feel was valuable. Something like a summary of the event would be nice. SF area is in a better shape than NYC since you have CS team as well as other users locally. In NYC we are only getting started, but it would definitely help if there is some sort of response. Just a curious thought, why don't we do remote sessions on development of CS via GotoMeeting - if Citrix can donate resources? That definitely beats local events and would certainly help developers across the globe.

The turnout at first SF Bay Area Meetup was really encouraging and loved the engagement and interest in CloudStack. We should collaborate on meetup content, I actually received some good tips from India meetup organizers, happy to share those with the community. Sebastien, David, Joe have posted good slides from previous events on slideshare and makes it much easier to prepare the slides. John Kinsella and I were discussing yesterday on having meetups with focus on users for one month followed by focus on developers next month and then repeating. Another option is to sprinkle theme based meetups in between.
