Experience

November 2007: Installfest for Gutsy

Joe, Nathan, Neal, and Seth at BarCampLA

Our first event was an installfest to celebrate the Gutsy release. We had some difficulty getting a location pinned down. This event was finally held as a session at BarCampLA and went moderately well even though no installation was actually done. BarCamps aren't conducive to events like this.
