Brisbane Meetup of Aust-NZ OSGeo Chapter

In a fit of ill-advised post FOSS4G enthusiasm I set up a meetup page. In my defence it sounded like a lot of the fun to be had in open source spatial is happening at the OSGeo chapter level.
I was actually concerned that I was taking on too much; that whole feeling of throwing a party and wondering if anyone is going to show...
Turns out we had quite a crowd; and an excellent location looking over the Brisbane river:
