Thanks for letting us sponsor the drinks and eats, but next time I want to go over my budget rather than explain how I can feed/water 30 people for about $100!
Also, thanks to Sun for trying to pay for the drinks. Maybe next time we will drink enough to justify having a major corporate beer sponsor. Regarding demos, if lots of people want to demo, I would think it fun to have lots of demos going each with 5 people clustered around and then swap around after a few minutes. I think that our group has more to say than a single presenter could say so changing the presenter/listener ratio would be good.
