Private launch party

February 10th, 2008 · No Comments

Our final act of this great weekend—other than cleaning up City Hall (not in the political way)—was to gather together and see what we had produced. The natural attrition continued, as out-of-towners and people with Monday jobs trickled away before 9p.

We just a did a private demo of the code. I think I speak for everyone that we are anxious to get to the next step in this process. We are still mulling some of the structural options, which prevented a live launch, but the energy is pretty high.

We’ve got to clean up and clear out of the building. Expect some wrap-ups and updates within the next 24 hours. Sleep is calling …..

Before signing off, I want to express my thanks to Andrew Hyde for both being there and not being there. It would have been a very difficult start on Friday without experience to get us started, and if he had been around Saturday morning, he probably would have been babysitting us all weekend. The talent of Bloomington got a chance to find our footing and shine. The overwhelming opinion is that this is a great framework for energizing the local tech community, and that we WILL do this again.
