Hopefully everyone found the session informative, the feedback forms show very positive feedback and some good suggestions, I'll re-type them over the next few days and send them over to Steve (although feel free to post your thoughts here)...

For my first SUGUK presentation I think it went quite well, stayed largly on topic and nearly to time with only slight over-run... I think having a single session for this topic worked well as trying to get all the information over in half the time would have been impossible.

I enjoyed presenting to everyone, I was nervous to start with (it probably showed!) but soon relaxed, hopefully I was able to convey things in a manner everyone understood and answered questions with the right level of detail... I know I have to work on my jokes, I'll keep trying :)

I am sooooo glad the live demo worked! Although the chicken that lost out that morning due being the sacrificial offering probably disagrees somewhat! Taking "vanilla" WSS through to published extranet in 20 minutes was challenging to demo (risky, as live demo's always are!) but I think conveyed how easy it can be, obviously not a scenario that works everywhere but as I said a few times there really isn't a "one size fits all" to extranets, which is why I like the subject ;)

Thanks to all who attended...

Thanks for the presentation Matt - I thought it was very good and very informative - the 20 minutes to implement ISA Server demo certainly made it look easy - we'll see how it pans out in practice!

Anyway, not sure if it was a rhetorical question or not about disabling the beep in Virtual PC so here's a couple of links as to how to: http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips1014.html, http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/virtualserver/2005/proddocs/vs_operate_using_guestOS.mspx?mfr=true - do I win a bottle of wine?  ;-).

BTW, great half time food - beats the pizzas in Newcastle.

Well done Matt - it was a really good session.  Technical content & demo were very impressive!

Thanks for an excellent presentation.  Clearly loads of content in there and subjects such as DNZ, ADFS, ISA are all huge discussions on their own.

I have two Extranet projects coming up and I'll be using your presentation as a starting point. 

Great buffet by the way!!
