[Baypiggies] Meetup in SF - This Thu at 6:30

[Daryl Spitzer]

Are the slides (or video or any other artifact) from this meeting available?

(I'm asking on behalf of a co-worked in Israel who is very interested
in the subject, but since I couldn't attend and am also interested I
too am hoping there is.)
