The March 2009 networking meeting had a much smaller, intimate crowd than usual but the people that come out are interesting as usual. We had to turn down the speakers a bit in the upstairs room at Starbucks but after we got our introductions together we had a chance to meet some very interesting folks. Here's a bit of a rundown of who came out to the networking evening.
