ConvergeSE Wrap-Up
Thanks to everyone who came out to ConvergeSE this year. We had a great time organizing the conference, but we wouldn’t have able to put on such an awesome event without your participation. If you missed it, be sure to check out the pictures on Flickr. Also, follow @ConvergeSE on Twitter to find out when we post the videos from Saturday’s talks.
Reminder: There’s no meetup this week! We’re taking the month of June off, since Converge was last weekend. We’ll be picking back up again with our regular monthly meetups on July 28th. Seeya then!
