I'd like to thank all of the hosts, sponsors and venus for leading the first ever Drupal Coworking Friday!

Right now my worldwide estimate for attendance is around ~100 people but it is only an estimate. If you were at a Drupal Coworking Friday location this last month could you please chime in with how many people showed up? Also, if you have any pictures that you want to publicly share, please link them in the comments below so I can add them to the G+ gallery.

Overall, how did you think the event worked? What would you change for next month? What would you keep the same? Would you do it again?

Photos so far (will be used in the blog post): https://plus.google.com/photos/114623748656325106111/albums/570231956438...

Hiya,

We had 8 people turn up in the end! Unfortunately I had to leave at lunchtime to fly out to the Drupal CxO Process Days in Amsterdam but the vibe was really great from what I saw, and we have had a couple of messages of thanks too!

I really like the format so we're going to make it a regular monthly thing, although instead of paying to hire a room (which we didn't use in the end anyway!) I've just asked anyone who wants to come along to have at least a basic £25pcm membership to http://theskiff.org coworking space which gives 2 days per month access. It's also a lot nicer being part of the rest of the coworkers there - makes us more visible and creates more interest as to what Drupal is all about.

Thanks once again for getting this started, great idea!

Will get some pictures next time - tried taking some but people hid ;)

Thats great that you will be continuing it monthly. We'll be doing the same in Orlando. We paid for a room this time as well but I'm not sure about the future months (I guess that really depends if we can find a free/lower cost location).

We had 7 people, hoping to do this at least monthly. Not sure if we'll stay in the same place or hop around the city until we find a spot that really clicks with us (or until RWK gets a satellite office we can crash at).
