This "informal" meet, we managed to get two things - a location to do the meet in, and speakers for the talk. The KL Sentral Incubator has a room that we got for free, and I was able to borrow a projector for the night. With the two speakers bringing their own PCs (one's a personal laptop, the other a personal desktop PC lugged on a train from Cyberjaya), we were all set for a speakers-based session.
