Lunch 2.0 at NetGear

Categories: EventsPosted on May 30th, 2007

Another successful event, I’m told it was 120 guests, for this bbq event, which included aprons “Cooking up your network”, the sign up post exploded this morning with maybe two dozen sign-ups.

NetGear’s digital living room was very cool, PodTech video crew was there to capture some video for our client, and interviewed many folks, including Drue Kataoka who’s a resident bay area artist in the form of traditional Japanese style “Sumi-E”, the bubilicious team, Web Developer Brian Stephens (who has the famous Chocolate Blog), Web Developer Michael Gobaco, Web professional Chris Salazar, Waili and friends from Savvis (who should host the next Lunch 2.0 and do a data center tour), Jeremy Toeman, and many others.

It’s pretty amazing the amount of press this event is getting, as it was on the front page of the SF Chronicle, funny photo of founder Terry.

You’re always on the cutting edge Jeremiah! Thanks for the provocative questions. I’m interested in the dynamic intersection between art and technology.

Had a great time myself, met some cool & interesting folks.

I’d have uploaded my photos by now, except my laptop and camera got stolen a few hours later!

[...] It seems like just last week when we hosted one of the biggest Lunch 2.0’s ever at LinkedIn (well, it was actually only last week). And, the team’s back at it again… This time around, we had Lunch 2.0 at Netgear. I had an opportunity to meet with a slew of friends, LinkedIn users and the Netgear crew. The Podtech and bub.blicio.us crew were there filming again and it was just a perfect summer BBQ. Here’s a nice post by Jeremiah. (Jeremiah’s site seems to be down, will update it with link shortly) [...]

Hey Jeremiah!

Thanks for your blog comment! Good point, it does depend on the attendees whether it’s a good or bad thing that it’s become more PR. At one point I was doing some filming and a Netgear person moved out of the way a little bit and said to me, “oh yeah take lots of pictures, we like that”.

I can understand them wanting lots of photos, but it was just an odd feeling ;). Can PR exist with small tailored individualized communities?

I don’t know, we should ask the community using the Lunch 2.0 blog, it’s their event so they are in charge in my opinoin.

haha, yes, we all love the free food. The people are great, i love the crowd that comes, but I couldn’t see the event being this big without that awesome free food!
