Presented very quickly. Point were clear and concise. Enjoyed it, thanks.

I found the subject matter very interesting, but found myself nodding off a few times. Not sure whether it was due to the conference room being extremely hot and stuffy today compared to yesterday, or the inexperienced speaker, or both, but unfortunately I am probably going to have to put it down to the speaker being inexperienced since I didn't have the same problem when any of the other people were giving their talks. I really don't enjoy the format of the slides either, it was just as bad as using Comic Sans font, but thats just my personal opinion. Considering that it was the first time Zander has given a talk, I felt that he did a much better job.

Excellent talk. Thanks for sharing. Your english is very good!

I found this talk extremely informative and interesting, and thoroughly enjoyed it in contrast to the subject material in the other talks which seemed to overlap on a few things, where this one was pretty much original in every aspect.

Although the subject material was actually very informative, I felt that the speaker could have been better prepared by getting the attendees to download and install the software used during the workshop in the weeks leading up to the actual workshop. CD/DVD-ROM drives belong in museums. Nobody uses them anymore. It would have been much better if one of the sponsors could have provided branded USB sticks advertising their company that contained the software, or alternatively for the delegates to have an option when purchasing the workshop tickets to purchase a USB stick that is preloaded with the software. That being said, I think the presenter was knowledgeable on the material, and did a great job overall. I would gave rated 5 stars if it weren't for the major fail with providing the software on DVD.

Enjoyed the introduction about FIG and the overview of the various different PSR's. I find it easier to grasp this type of subject matter when its explained to me than trying to read up on it myself, otherwise I give up after 5 minutes and move on to reading something more interesting, even though this stuff is actually pretty important.

It is awesome to see locals being innovative and coming up with awesome new things. I can't wait for AMF to mature so that we can adopt it for our projects. Your presentation was excellent and very interesting.

Your presentation skills are outstanding. You are arguably the best presenter in the country. Fantastic job, well done!

Great job on your first talk, I would have been much more nervous if I were in your shoes.

It must have been extremely daunting giving a presentation in a English when its not your first language. I would recommend finding out what the Linux commands actually do when you are using them in your presentation though. In my opinion, the presenter should have a certain amount of knowledge about the information that is being presented, even if its just enough to explain what the command is doing.
