Talk comments
The Raspberry Pi talk was pretty interesting. It's always good to hear from the people behind these things. I bought my RasPi from the guy that drew the boards and chatted about it to him for half an hour - you can't do that with a PC!
I enjoyed the Stephen Fry video, and I hope the organisers can put it up somewhere online so I can watch it again. He raised a lot of good points, particularly about encouraging people to play with computers again rather than just passively consuming content from others.
Fantastic talk. Was crewing the room and wouldn't normally have chosen the topic. However I'm do glad I was there, it was the best talk I saw over the weekend
Nice idea and some funny parts, but the disorganisation spoiled it. Too much talking over each other and the hosts should have been a bit slicker to make everything flow better.
Agree with the others - more of these sessions next time please!
Good talk with some thought provoking points. Simon is a great speaker, enjoyed it.
Some interesting panel members, but they were unfortunately drowned out a little by a couple just trying to be controversial for the sake of it. They got a little bogged down arguing with one audience member about open standards. They then went on to say things like "IE6 was a great browser and a standard" and naming .doc and .rtf in the context of open standards!
Once they'd quietened down a bit, the other members were able to discuss relevant topics. Overall not as insightful as I'd hoped.
This was really interesting.
I won the Ubuntu laptop bag. It's great.
Fascinating subject matter delivered by a very good speaker.
I love Forth and I love 1980s home computers. I bought one, but I haven't built it yet.
