Gearman seemed like a great and useful project.

Eric's presentation was very informative, educational, and interesting. I really appreciated the time everyone took in putting this together, since it sounds like he flew in from Oregon to do this for us. Of course, having the food and drinks was also really wonderful. I really look forward to meetings like these.

Phenomenal bare bones product/project. What can't you do with it. I understand others asking for more features, but also understand that making things more complex and tightly coupled only complicate things for future use. Take Mysql, now we have Drizzle. Will there be something to fix Gearman if it gets too bloated? I think more event (messages/status) creation would be very good. Some of the people asking for crazy features were just evident ONE-UPPERS. Best thing to do is for users to describe different scenarios in which they use Gearman, from there we can find common base features that would aid in many situations. I would like to thank danga and the Gearman team for providing a very nice tool.
