The meeting was very good; we got a pretty good geeks explanation of ATA over Ethernet and its very interesting technology for storage.

The downside though is that AOE doesn't use any type of network security so any pc plugged into the same switch as an AOE can access the disk drives (assuming you have the drivers installed).
