I had planned on blogging yesterday evening during the event but couldn’t get much of a chance – too much offline discussion that was interactive, engaging and darn interesting.
We kicked off around 6pm with registration. Around 90 people or so showed up and we had dinner at the top parking level deck next door. The sky was incredible and the weather was absolutely perfect.
After dinner, around 8pm-ish, we kicked off sessions that ran until around 10pm. The most interesting talk I think I attended was Stephen Fleming and Michael Mealing’s “Space 101″ talk. I don’t remember the exact title – but it was essentially a lesson in things like gravity in space, low earth orbit and a lot of other space-geek stuff. Amazing how much I thought I understand but really didn’t about “the basics”.
After sessions, we had a lot of engaging group discussions – for a long time we talked about ideas for Startup Weekend Atlanta. We also talked about a lot of bigger idea issues like debating the semantic web, portable reputations and fun stuff like that. I went to bed around 3:00am and 7:30am came quickly. People are just starting to get up and arrive now and breakfast from Justix is very sweet. Off to get some more food…and get the sessions going.
Check out the picture pool on Flickr. Thanks for Stephen Fleming for the picture to the right.
