I think maybe not so much, reading the original blog post announcing Galaxy:

"What about a free option? We've always offered free hosting to every Meteor developer through our meteor deploy feature. It's never going away. Now that we've had a chance to shake out key parts of Galaxy's technology stack with large production apps, we're ready to transition that free meteor deploy service to Galaxy. We've already started on that work, so that every developer can use Galaxy free of charge for simple apps, or purchase smaller plans for projects that aren't a fit for a full commercial plan."

Is single sign on support for sub domains coming soon?

This is why I changed it for the link title on here

Some really interesting insights here, Wodlander -- I look forward to seeing more from Glipho

Looks like a great lineup of speakers! Great job, Dmitri!

Cold calling isn't the same as networking -- calling someone if they aren't expecting you, haven't requested you call, or might not even know you is not the same thing as talking to someone at an event.

Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that the people who have no problems just going up to random people at events and starting a conversation undoubtedly started sometime being shy and socially awkward. Nearly all of them will tell you that they got past it by pretending to be confident.

You don't have to pretend to be super-confident, just put a smile on your face, be friendly, and fake it. Some people you talk to will also struggle to be social, they might seem rude or cold but it could be they're also shy. They might appreciate someone taking the time to talk to them.

Making friends is slightly different to meeting people, or making business contacts. That doesn't mean you don't like the people you meet, but someone you make as a business contact doesn't have to be someone you'd want to go to the pub with, just one-on-one. But if it helps, don't think of it as networking -- just as meeting interesting people.

And as for calling someone you want to meet, calling is very personal and can be considered invasive. Sure, it would be very confident -- but there are better ways. Find out who you know who could introduce you to someone who knows them, or attend an event they will be at where you could meet them.

I hope some of this is helpful.
