He also talked about the future of Github and some opinions on entrepreneurship (#1 tip: “Use your brains”).

Event-wise, we stuffed 32 geeks into our space, brought in some beverages and ZZ’s pizza.  Unfortunately, we only had about half as many chairs, but people made do with balance balls, windows seats and the floor.  So the event was in fact standing room only!

Here are some pictures from the Meetup pool.
