GOOD: We had some people from the previous meetup and also lots of new people. The turnout pattern was roughly consistent with the theory that the next couple meetups located in different parts of Southern California will pull in new local people to each one, while people who have been to previous meetups will be more willing to travel. If we keep up the meetups, in new places around Southern California, I think we’ll build up a group whose size, cohesion, and diversity will significantly exceed what we’ve seen at the first two meetings… which were already better than I was initially hoping for :-)
