Thanks for everyone who attended last nights meetup, and a big thank you again to Isovera for sponsoring.

Here is a collection of links for technologies/services that were shared last night.

As well as links/date to upcoming area Drupal related camps and conferences. Most of which are free to attend.

I've started posting the presentations from the May 5 meetup. http://drupalgroup.mit.edu/presentations. I have two up (Benji and Nik's) and will post the others later today. What I like about this, beyond having the videos up for anyone who missed the meetup, is that the posts provide a place for followup questions and comments.
