Transcripts:
RoutingNinja I wrote a blog entry on why Cisco Live was awesome this year. http://www.routingninja.net
@gallifreyan I would’ve enjoyed the improv session, but had other commitments (and have done my share of standup comedy already)
CommsNinja Improv class was awesome!
@gallifreyan I have to say I liked the vendor events where you could hear people next to you (ePlus, BaconIT, for example)
@gallifreyan I’ve kinda run out of excitement for huge noisy booomboom parties.
@gallifreyan Lauren: Next time, bigger room for Cisco Champion Radio Live
RoutingNinja bacon buffet in the tweetup lounge
LaurenFriedman @gillifreyan – no more boomboom for you
CommsNinja I’m getting a smaller room next year–better pictures for CCR Live!
ahmadmanzoor I was not at CLUS that’s why i am just listening but i have seen sessions on Cisco Live website
tnewshott I managed to avoid any sessions at all.
subnetwork I do. I learn an incredible amount from the people,
@gallifreyan I took one class each day, and two labs, but mostly tech field day and social stuff and Cisco Champion stuff.
LaurenFriedman @gallifreyan DON’T B SAD

k00laidIT That’s been me, I wasn’t able to go this year but followed along on the keynotes online and already have a list of sessions to review online one video
ahmadmanzoor CommsNinja: I have seen your session online that was awesome
LaurenFriedman @ahmadmanzoorahmad – URL!

@gallifreyan Meet The Engineers or Table Topics.
@gallifreyan Maybe we should do Cisco Champion Table Topics for the various channels.

CommsNinja Like it.
@gallifreyan oh yeah, when do the CLUS EU episodes come out?
CommsNinja Every Wednesday rain or shine for EU. First will come up soon.
Fish14 some CLUS vods are already out there
tnewshott It was rough having the event spread across 3-4 buildings for me this year.
@gallifreyan GideonTam: You did a great job. I went easy on the leaderboard this year.
Fish14 all should be there w/in 2 weeks of today
GideonTam And one of my tweets was on the Featured Tweets.
@gallifreyan we could do table topics outside of the table topic region.
@gallifreyan maybe “rent” a meeting room in a nearby hotel for Champion sessions, like we did for TFD.
ahmadmanzoor LaurenFriedman: Session ID: CEWN-1000,
@gallifreyan sounds good.

@gallifreyan yeah, CML/VIRL were still a bit confusing last week.

RoutingNinja I’d like to know where Cisco is going with the ASA / CX / Sourcefire / Cisco IPS / Ironport WSA / etc… assuming they know
Fish14 luck, luck, luck
@gallifreyan Maybe “What’s it like to work for Cisco?”
GideonTam Lauren Cooney insisted that there would be uses of CML (supported version) and VIRL (unsupported version).
