Photos from last OpenCoffee

Magda Lukasiewicz was at last week’s OpenCoffee in Nosh+Coffee and took some great pictures, some of which are below. Check out her site for more brilliant photography.

Videos from OCC Today

Ciara from FindaConferenceVenue got some amazing feedback from the OCC crew today. Whilst I used an external mic, I’m not sure it was any better than the built-in one for volume.

Nomos Software at OpenCoffee

Tricia and David from Nomos Software demoed their software on Friday. Whilst it was a highly technical topic, we had an excellent QA session about the business side of things.

Last Friday’s OCC (Shared Visions and Home Help Tech)

We had a reasonably quiet OCC last Friday in the Rubicon Boardroom but the attendees had plenty to say to Roland Steinmetz of Shared Visions and Simon Martin of Home Help Tech. Both gave great presentations on their businesses and we all tried to give useful feedback and questions.
With no negativity directed at Roland and [...]
