Matz also gave me an interview for my docu at that event. He was really nice and forthcoming. This is the talk he gave at the event (HD). Duration: 45 min. Hope you like it.

A friend noted that I should mention that the people at the event were fully aware that I was filming his talk and were cool with it ;)

Crashed? It was a public event (Open Tech Talk). Why sensationalize the title? http://events.linkedin.com/open-tech-talk-new-1129669 http://events.linkedin.com/open-tech-talk-new-1129669

Well you had to register through eventbrite and I hadn't done that ... People at the entrance checked that. Also, I had no appointment with Matz doing the interview before his talk and people there said it would be very difficult to get an interview from him... So I "walked" in without registering and interviewed Matz without an appointment - if that makes you happy...

  When people at the entrance were checking, did they just let you in or did you sneak in somehow? Actually crashing parties is good fun. I made a Facebook app that lists all events friends of yours with the same current location have been invited to (that the privacy settings allow), which often ends up with house parties on the list. Naturally, I like to check out some of these house parties. https://apps.facebook.com/sortonsevents/ https://apps.facebook.com/sortonsevents/ Forgive any bugs; I've had a JSON dump saved for a few weeks now for troubleshooting. It generally works for me and developing it further doesn't seem to have many benefits. It's built with Google Web Toolkit.

    Wasn't sure if it was cool to show up without registering, didn't want to find out either so I sneaked in. No biggy!
