    This was a fabulous meetup. Max did an amazing job of explaining MySQL Cluster, and was great about answering all levels of questions.

    While the product is still being baked, I found it extremely interesting...

    Great presentation, a little hard to understand but it was still very informative and the product looks great and looks like it solves a lot of problems.

    Felt vaguely like Oracle marketing. Didn't really teach me anything about explain that wasn't readily available with through minor web searching. Was really hoping to get into some of the nitty gritty of explain and how it aids with query optimization.

    I think the audience had a range of questions from beginner to technical. So this kept it in the middle of the road for both sides.

    I am a bit biased here as I work with Ivan. I thought that it was a great mix of presentation and discussion. There was lots of great material added by people who were attending, as well as some great questions.

    The information was easy to follow and digest as well.

    A little too much like a product pitch - other than the chance to ask questions I think I didn't learn much more than is on the web site. That said it is a very interesting product that I will investigate further so ultimately useful, just not the usual type of talk I'm used to.

    Excellent meetup. The speaker knew his subject and how to make a presentation that was concise and strictly to the point. Plus the examples given were real world cases that most of the audience could understand and enjoy.

    Sales pitch in tech talk clothing. Don't appreciate being misled.

  • Phil Freo
    It could have been a great topic and should have been very instructional but rather it felt like a big commercial ad for a commercial (not even production-ready) product.

    nice topic, learned a lot. totally worth the two hours train time.

  • Alex Ng
    The talks were a bit dense for me. Was looking for more straight forward examples of how NoSQL solutions can be implemented. The Cassandra talk was particularly hard to follow. :\ Thanks for setting this up and providing the nice facilities for this though!

    Good speakers on an interesting group of topics -- worth the time even though it was long. Great door prizes and lots of them! Crowd was kind of large, making it more like a conference seminar than what I think of as a meetup. Not having pizza was a nice change of pace, but arriving early was a key to getting any food at all.

    A very good meetup. Only have 2 suggestions : 1) For this type of meetup, a panel session with all 3 presenters taking Q/A would be very helpful in clarifying some of the differences of the 3 technologies presented. 2) I don't want to sound too cliche Northern Californian. But... Some food that herbivores could eat would have been great. All in all, one of the best MySQLUG meetups that I've been to. Thanks
