Worth listening to, made me want to reconsider using third party auth. Great idea of using Google OpenID provider when combined with Google Apps for Education. Looking forward to OAuth 2.0 getting finalized.

The power outage was not obstacle for Ian. It was very clear he had a fantastic depth of knowledge and was able to keep going without slide. In fact, this ended up feeling like the kind of conversation you might have one on one at a bar, which is not a bad tone at all for helping the audience learn the information. Thank you for keeping your cool and persevering thought the power failure. Way to go!!

I believe speakers are here to inspire and not teach, session time is usually limited for that. In that line of thought i enjoyed David's talk because it got me thinking of new possibilities and new ways of approaching coding php in general by learning from other projects from outside our community.

Great intro to Zero-MQ and the way Ian handled the power outage that prevented him from using slides, was simply amazing.

This was a fantastic talk, gave a very nice broad overview about the technologies and why we'd want to do this. The live demo was superb it had just enough to give a foundation to build off.

The abstract talks about WebSockets and using Libevent to write event driven PHP. The slides said WebSockets aren't useful because no one supports them and Libevent shouldn't be used because it stinks. I was really hoping for the abstract version of things.

What was talked about was ok, but not what I came for.

You did very well. You covered a lot of ground in 50 minutes. Everything was to the point and on topic. I can take what you presented an apply it. Well done

Presenter is great... Topic is a bit outside of my expertise, so I can't comment on content

I enjoyed the various tangents and rants.

This wasn't what I was expecting at all - the actual presentation did not seem to follow the description outlined.
