more ponytails than should be allowed by law

Decided to go to the April UJUG meeting a couple nights ago. The presenters varied a little in quality, but were average to great. The topic was interesting, I would have enjoyed more "What went horribly wrong" war stories.

I thought it was telling that even though Maven was held up as a savior for many of the projects, everyone who spoke up mentioned their love/hate relationship with it. It sounded like the LDS church's team had embraced it the most, and a big part of their success with it appears to be because they've dedicated 2-3 engineers to supporting it full time within their organization.

Turnout was huge, 100+. I think I prefer the smaller, and less formal, UPyUG meetings. And it's not just because I think software developers with long hair look silly. So many ponytails at the UJUG meeting. And at least one beret.
