[google-appengine] Meeting Notes from the Seattle meet-up.

[Brandon Wirtz]

We were the rowdiest group in the place.  We with our count of 8 were also
about half of the people in the joint.

 

Greg prefixes a great many things with "The opinions I am about to express
are my own and do not reflect those of Google, my team members, our
sponsors, or my family"

 

Steve built an app that teaches his daughter math, but mentioned that if it
caught on it would bankrupt him proving that GAE doesn't scale as it can be
Over loaded by a 9 year old girl and her computational skills.

 

It was confirmed that the Team changed GAE's pricing just to spite me. Which
is why I take such joy in the 4 Requests per second on Zero Instances.
(That'll teach you)

 

While the location of the GAE servers was not revealed we now know where the
Google Apartment is for traveling Google Staff.  This will make abducting
someone who knows this answer easier.

 

While Matt will tell you that Data Store is superior to all other Database
models. He won't do so publicly because he is a nice guy and "won't drag the
competition through the mud".

 

Apparently I have Business Cards, but none of the Google staff did, because
that would imply that Google lets them out of the Plex to interact with
people who might want said card.

 

It is rumored that Microsoft has a Bacon Truck for poaching valued Google
Employees, but none of the people in attendance had seen said truck, lending
to the obvious conclusion, Microsoft doesn't want any of them.

 

No one attended in an adult mermaid costume. And our Waitress looked a
little to Emo/Suicide Girl to ask if she would consider wearing one.
