Thanks for the feedback. We'll consider adding a list of all available jobs, that's a good idea.
Re Leeds - how did your friend who is coming hear about the event? Are there email lists that we should have targeted that we didn't?

You (perhaps collectively with other roundabouters) could try holding some sort of competition for students. I am sure academics at universities would help to promote something like that to their students and you would be able to see which students are capable of building things and getting things done, i.e. which are potential hires. It could also expose students to the types of work, and the style of working, that occurs at a start-up.
I'm not aware of any groups up here in Leeds that meet regularly and cater for hackers interested in working for a startup.
I've been to a couple of talks/beers with the local Linux User Group but I do miss the opportunity to talk about things a bit more web- or startup-specific.
I hear you guys have a bit of an after-work drinking scene going on down there and I'm jealous!
