Silicon Valley Fallout of the Mumbai terror attacks?
I just received email invites for the SF mobile meet-up and the Facebook tech talk. The RSVP policy for both had something that I have not seen before in such emails: Security is tight and if you are not on the RSVP list, you cannot get in. I have a feeling this heightened security is in response to the attacks seen in Mumbai. Here are the email extracts:
SF mobile
Guest & RSVP Policy
You are welcome to bring a guest - if you’d like to bring more than one, please contact me directly. In that context, by now most of you will have noticed that when RSVP-ing, three questions will pop up. Please make sure that you answer at least the question for your full name - we will use the responses to compile the guest list. Security is very tight in the building, and /* if your name is not on that list, you won’t be able to get in */. So make sure you insert your guest’s name as well.
Facebook tech talk
NOTE: +1’s are allowed but due to the limited space you must comment with the name of your +1 so that we can add them to the guest list. For security reasons, if you do not RSVP or send us the name of your +1, you or your guest will not be able to attend the event.
