StayFresh12 Content Roundup

Thursday, September 24th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

We’d like to thank our amazing speakers Tim Scollick, Ben Vinegar, Joshua Wehner, and Colin Bowern, as well as all our attendees for coming out on a rainy Monday evening. For the second consecutive month, over 50 of attendees were new faces, which makes us very happy. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

We’ve posted the presentation decks online, including the audio for Colin’s presentation. Unfortunately, GarageBand had crashed during the first half of our gathering, so all the audio for the other presentations was lost.

Episode 6 of the StayFresh podcast will be available shortly. Stay tuned!

First of all, we’d like to thank each and every one of you for coming out to last Monday’s gathering; over 50% of attendees were new faces. We’re quite happy about that, and we hope this trend continues in the future.

A quick heads up to let you know we’ve uploaded all of Monday’s presentation decks to our SlideSpace; the audio for the slidecasts and the podcast will be available later today.

EDIT: Slidecasts are synched up with the audio. Check out our SlideSpace and listen in!
