Any comments? drop 'em here (psw ci2p):

On behalf of Hossein Rahnama and Bart Gajderowicz, I’d like to thank each of you for attending the competition on Wednesday. After speaking with some of the students, it was clear they gained a lot from the experience.

The open-ended requirements for the projects was intended to develop the student’s creativity, technical knowledge, and investigative skills, and let them choose which aspects of Web 2.0 they can use and contribute to.

The comments and criticisms brought up by Many Ayromlou and Hampton Catlin were very constructive and effective in terms of developing their projects further. Michael Glenn’s questions and suggestions on marketability gave

each group a clearer and focused understanding of how to take their projects from the classrooms and make it a reality. Leila Boujnane’s presentation on the important and sometimes forgotten aspects of a startup put the realities of working in a successful group into focus. Bradley Fortner’s and Karl Moskowski’s helpful comments and suggestions were to

the point, and allowed the students to see the potential of their ideas.

Thank you to our Chair, Dr. Ali Sadeghian, for allowing us to put the event together and speaking to the students.

We hope to have another such event in the Fall 2007 semester, and would love to have all of you back, and this time we promise to end on time! Yes, we did go over a significant amount of time, but this isn’t the place to dwell over such things (Bart nervously clears his throat).
