Fukano-san and Inoue-san were live from Japan at 3:30a and stayed on for the full 4 hours. Sugoi !
Doug Eng flew in/out from Seattle same day. His new company Raeden is lucky to have such a warrior
Boxed lunches from Sweet Pea were super tasty. We ordered around 11:30a and had lunch around 12:30p
HanaHaus + Blue Bottle Coffee venue worked out well. There were no complaints, place had a lively atmosphere (lots of people working hard), quick and easy parking, and convenient coffee and tasty treatssnacks. We didn't have enough attendees to overflow our meeting room, so we transferred our payment for 4 hours of open meeting area table to a 4th hour in the meeting room (i.e. we used the meeting room for 4 hours instead of 3 we reserved). Also in my personal opinion (Brower) HanaHaus has done a good job with pandemic related policies. They took the baseline Santa Clara County (SCC) health screening document, made adjustments, and got those approved by SCC. In this way they tailored / balanced their policies and showed dynamic adaptability, which I think compares well with "big corp" venues that Akraino might ask for F2F meeting space.
