Thanks for writing this summary :) It was a real pleasure to see so many people (+ not French-speaking).

As discussed yesterday, next time we'll probably use badges to spark discussions and we'll find more time for recruiting sessions and MVP demos :)

BTW, we're looking for sponsors. hint hint

Thanks for posting the summary. I imagine it helps forming a somewhat coherent group.

Some of your activities could be a good inspiration for the next HN Zurich meetup, which reminds me...

Just curious - was it mostly in French? English? Mixed?

All the presentations were and will remain in english. There was a fair share of people that didn't speak french, which is good!

English-only. Which is quite an achievement in France ;)

It was a really fun night: quite different to most meetups (thanks to the diverse range of people that HN attracts)... so there was something for everyone!

Really cool night, cool people, nice talks, interesting demos. Can't wait to do it again. And hope we'll hatch a nefarious plan to have PG over :)
