Hey, we're talking about Ubiquiti here. The passing out of the free Rockets was at the end and it was Mike in the corner of the room with a laptop looking up the name of each person who registered to be there and making sure the person asking for the Rocket matched. Of course, no organization with it, the entire room was pushing into the corner with no line, just a mass of rocket-grabbing geekness. I left the pile twice and finally left for good and sent an email to Mike from my laptop while sitting in the parking lot to just mail us the things. I also suggested they tweak the distribution process of the free goods for the next conferences.
Another suggestion that I made to them, and I suggested all of it in a friendly manner, (not like your 80 year old neighbor boy who keeps yelling at you from over the fence to stop doing this or that because of whatever........) Was to possibly have a registration book or something outside the room and possibly a nametag or something to tell the rest of the room who the heck you are. We all came from all over and unless someone wore a logo from their company or could overhear a name or company while someone was talking there was no way of hooking up with people that we only know online. Basic stuff, I thought. But that's just me.

It is good to hear about what went on. Did you get a free rocket? Did they run out? -RickG On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 12:14 AM, Robert West <robert.w...@just-micro.com> wrote: > No one is posting anything about the UBNT conference???? > > For those who didn't attend, Founder and President of UBNT, Robert Pera gave > a talk and asked what the biggest issue we as users had with the company. > >From all corners, a loud "SUPPLY!".
