It actually never happened on that day because their network collapsed just a 
couple of minutes after the start of the presentation (it was right after the 
earthquake), which is why I still haven't reported on this one.

The meeting was thus postponed and happened yesterday. The audience was nice, 
with around 12 participants, and 3/4 professors who seemed extremely engaged, 
from both verbal and non-verbal reactions: they asked me many questions and 
how to contribute with their notes. They also actively looked up the website 
and registered to the Spanish version: I left them my contacts and the mailing 
list address. Apparently they also will publish the video of the meeting soon.

I am now waiting for feedback on the matter directly from them, let's wait and 
hope... =)

Bye,
