| Fest07 is over, but we wanted to share a small slice of the feedback which we had from the event - Makes us so proud! |

So far we have received over 370 items of feedback from Fest07 and we wanted to share just a few of the fabulous comments with you...
Richard van Aken Loved it. One of the best events I've attended ever!
David Tims Rafal performed what can only be described as a miracle. Turning a talk on security, something that would normally send me to sleep, into something where I was hanging on his every word! Truly a god amongst speakers!
Ade Bullock Fantastic event. Organisation was superb - you guys obviously went to a lot of trouble. Food not quite as good as DDD - could have done with an Innocent smoothie in the afternoon. Atmosphere was very good - everyone was enjoting it. 9.00 start was a bit early for those of us travelling down.
Ade Bullock Great video. Surely you'll be doing tech-ed keynote soon.
Raymond Starkey Everything was fantastic, this was one of the best techy days I have ever had. (The only gripe was pizza's with no knife and fork to eat them with - its just my gneration!)
Chris Watts Reminded me that developing software should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Will definitely be back next year, even despite the journey time. If there were other NxtGenUG events nearer to Cambridge, I'd become a full member and be a regular attender. Complements to Microsoft on having a fabulous campus.
Neville Kennedy A great day with intersting and entertaining speakers and hosts. Very clever(!) how all the talks seemed to link in to each other. Obviously well planned and organised.
Peter McGann Richard and Dave are naturals, they should be on stage or something. Normally I'm not one to really laugh at "gags" but they come along so naturally and they're so obviously enjoying themselves I couldn't help but be thoroughly entertained. The video was great too.
Conan Ablewhite Welcoming everyone and bringing them up to speed with a compilation video of the previous 12 months' escapades was a great idea and got the day off to a roaring start :) P.S. I did warn you about the Cingular logo Rich ;)
Nazrul Hussain This was my first NextGenUG event, and I was extremely impressed with the event. Microsoft went all out to ensure we were fed and refreshed, with good food, frequently. I have to admit, I did have some stereo-typical views of what to expect, but I have to hand it to Rich, Dave and John, they're surely put those views to bed and put on a memorable and most entertaining event. Rich and Dave, the next 'Reeves and Mortimor' or maybe 'Ant and Dec'? The only problem now is that I have high expectations, so the Coventry/Birmingham events have a lot to live up to !!!
Adrian Sutcliffe
Fest07 was spot on. If this was the quality of the first event, you've got a challenge ahead in future years. Getting Rafal was a coup, but having Rafal & swag & pizza, man that was just genius!
