Really loved the event! Great job everyone. I think we should use http://storify.com to create a write up of the event (insert tweets / pictures) and then share it with the community members who were not able to make it. I can spend some time on this next week.

Here is an example of storify created from tweets: http://avc.com/2012/02/back-to-school/

Although not sure how long the content there stays online. Posting on the forum might make sense because then the content is just on this forum. Storify seems super simple for searching Twitter etc and just dragging dropping things.

I mentioned this here:

Thereโ€™s a lot to go through, but @muneeb got a great head start by finding tweets and sharing them in the Slack. We can move a lot of that here.
