Thanks to everyone who came. the roster:
Dan Cooney, Mark Smith, Jose Nazario, John
Remmers, Mary Remmers, Larry Kestenbaum,
Daniel O'Neil, Catherine Juon, me, John
Blyberg, Steve Adams, Art Delano, Kathy Brade,
Nat Poor. 14 all told.
The conversational dynamics allowed for one
go-around the room, plus a little bit of everyone
connected to each other. Towards the end it
broke up into two groups, so I didn't get half
of what was going on.
The question I asked was if anyone knows anyone
looking for work or hiring. The results:
Arbor Networks is hiring security researchers and
threat analysts, contact Jose.
Sagient is said to be hiring, says Dan.
Catherine and Daniel hope to be hiring in 90 days.
Steve Adams is looking, w/experience in L2/L3
tech support.
Art Delano is available for PHP contract work.
Nat Poor is looking for a telecom analyst position
in New York City.
A few other people knew friends or relations who
were looking for work, but I'll make those connections
separately.

Inevitably people talked about Google. Much discussion
about what was actually going to happen, and the
fine semantics of how to describe the new place
("call center" didn't sound like the right description,
nor "research center"). More questions raised than
answered.
Catherine and Daniel from Pure Visibility were
more than a little bit happy that now there would
be a bunch more people in town who knew what
kind of work they did.
Dan is looking to fix his Dell laptop.
More of course, but you had to be there.
thanks
Ed
