• 102 people signed into webinar

• After @Michael Winkler posts the video to YouTube, @Rachel Fadlon will send an email to all participants with the link to the recording.

• No Twitter questions, but did get retweets and people following the project's Twitter account. FLO is notably good at retweeting us. Someone from "RedHat India" liked many of the tweets; @Peter Murray will follow-up.

• Even if we don't have the descriptions, can we put the list of upcoming Forums on the website so people know what is coming? Good idea!
