It looks really nice, but there might be a problem for someone reading these notes who didn't actually watch startup school. For example in Watsi's section you write "Worst part about being a non-profit: Nobody says NO", that could be a sarcastic comment, or it could be a problem of too much funding, or it could be it's actually meaning that everybody actually says no, but just not to his face. Also, the starting quo…

In context, Chase Adam said something like "The worst part about being a non-profit: everybody is like 'yeah, this is really cool', but they don't write a check. Nobody says 'NO'."

Thanks for posting! If anything is unclear (it's always hard to find quotes without trimming too much context), let me know.

How did you get the pictures to each person at the bottom of the page? Photoshop over their genuine pictures?

Yup. I experimented with adding some features.. but it looked way too creepy: http://cl.ly/image/3s2P2z0j1Q33

Everyone is praising you on the look/feel of your website, which I agree is pretty cool; however, the content of what "people" learned from the conference seems all but completely useless (unless the conference sucked that much that all you got out of each speaker was a couple of 1 liner's??). Not sure if you were serious about the content or just messing around to demo your website.

Yeah, the picture linked above kinds of creepy. I like the one currently being used better. By the way, it's a really impressive piece. Job well done!

These are beautiful! You should sell these, maybe individually as mugs/posters - I'd definitely buy some key one-liners for our office.

For those of you who want a bit more context, here are two sets of notes from this weekend:

https://github.com/charlesfeng/startup-school-2013 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xo99mjzc4nyK3J4_GBiba_Kz...

There is some overlap between the two but also some differences so I'd suggest reading both.

Using less detail definitely looks better. I noticed that when my window is ~950 pixels wide, though, I lose the names above each person as the display scrolls down. I found the names helpful for understanding who someone was, as I didn't decipher all of the doodled versions perfectly.

I would buy this as a little hand book. That'd be awesome.

I've been doing them every year ( http://gkoberger.net/m/startup-school ); would love to eventually do something like that. I wouldn't want to make money; maybe I could donate proceeds to Watsi?

these would be cool swag !

(also, nice step up...I like the booklet > scroll)

Gregory, I think you did an amazing job! If you want, I can send you some pictures you can use, if you'd like to add them. Let me know.
