Pascal was presenting and talking in a nice and clear way that certainly kept me engaged. The talk was a bit short and I realise this may have been nerves, that otherwise didn't show.

I liked how you engaged the crowd last time I saw you give this talk and how you were incorporating the mikado method while giving the talk, it might be an idea to keep that piece to as others say: Give more of a real life example and engaging people.

I had SO much fun with the orange pingpong balls! Thanks Enrise for all your entertainment, and thanks Juliette for the scavenger hunt, it was a lot of fun seeing the attendees connect with eachother over this, and to be part of such an awesome social :D

I've seen this talk 3 times now I believe and I'm STILL enjoying it, I guess that says it all, this is a flawless talk and I will never get tired of Rowans presenting style.

In my opinion, it was a very informative talk and with a lot of good tips. I really liked the firefox tab plugin, for instance.

I think some parts, specially in the beginning, could be more dynamic because most of the people there already knew the basics.

The slides were a bit difficult to read, but it was certainly an interesting topic with important information. There's so much more to internationalization than just the translations and I believe people will now think about it a little bit more. There were some great tips noticed and I liked how you shared the differences between some languages to make us understand more clearly what you're actually talking about.

Well done! Work on the slides and engaging the crowd a bit more and then I believe this can become a 5-star talk! <3

I agree 100% with Camilo's comment, this talk was GREAT and if you do it more as a "Look what I did, working for FUN really does work!" it would be even greater. I could notice some nervousness but this surely will go away with practise.

Thanks for a great talk and I learnt a couple of things as well, you indeed have to know what the masses want, and even if you don't feel like it: Add what they want and revenue will come, make sure to keep your projects alive and change, and you can ACTUALLY work for yourself, with fun stuff :D

Really nice and inspirational talk, with awesome slides :) although you ruined Linus Torvalds image for me, I enjoyed the talk a lot.

Ross... What can I say, that guy delivers his talks flawlessly every time. The way things moved on screen and he timed what he said, and how he moved his hands, and also how he incorporated humour kept us all engaged even after the lunch dip!

Thank you for yet another great talk, I certainly learnt a lot of things about SVG's, and I'm so gonna play with 90's flashback websites but with new technology, you're gonna hate it ;)

I liked the style of the slides and the way Adam presented this talk.

BUT as others have already said: There was too much talking about the paper and pens but I did enjoy the organisation of your notes.

Some tips for next time:
Even tho you don't use digital notetaking yourself, include some information about how to take better digital notes, some apps you can use etc. Maybe ask others who successfully do this, and replace the pens and paper part with that information, then I believe this can be a valuable talk for conferences where people can really learn more about notetaking.

Very informative, and although someone (anonymous) said it was boring, I think it is a hard topic - nobody wants to deal with it, but yet we HAVE to. I learned a lot.

As people already said, less text on the slides might be better, because we tend to start reading them and lost concentration in what is being said.
