The shape of TechMeetup to come
Having put all of the responses into a tag cloud generator, which produced an nice description of TechMeetup, I thought it best to process the feedback a little further. All of the TechMeetup organisers are meeting this week to ensure we’ve got a good plan for the future. Anyone wanting to gain some serious respect with organising TechMeetup, email me (more information here). TechMeetup is growing fast and we continue to need more volunteers to manage the effort. We can achieve big things people.. 
I’m posting the results of the feedback here so that people who have commented can see how their feedback may have weighed up against others. Forany critics of my statistical accuracy, I should say that 31 people responded with these respective “skews”:
- Fantastic, I wouldn’t change it for the world (14)
- Good but could be better, I’ll tell you why (17)
- Pretty crap, here are some suggestions to fix it (0)
Good, nobody thinks it’s crap.
So what do people think? Here’s a run down, feel free to comment on anything you have an opinion on.

Your Techmeetup feedback (in part)
I’m compiling all of the feedback on Techmeetup and trying to extract common sentiments. Visualising everyones responses with a tag cloud is pretty interesting. It isn’t entirely accurate, especially looking at the size of “beer”, which was surely the most popular word in all. I’ll post some more definitive information when it’s ready and expect to see a lot of these changes over the next few meetups as we try some different things.
If anyone is interested in helping organise some of these additions to Techmeetup, we are looking for a couple of people to claim the much honoured titles of “speaker finder-getter”, “web developer/editor”, and “helper of all things”.
If you’d like to be part of Techmeetup, comment below or email me [sam at techmeetup dot co do uk].
Here’s the tag cloud describing Techmeetup.
