"I learned that if you are nice to the hotel staff, and offer them slices of your pizza, they will let you colonize the lobby with a crew of 12 people and a whole lot of laptops every night straight for a week."

... Yeah, at every retail or customer service job I've ever worked, niceness and food-bribery would definitely get you the staff agreeing to let you camp out for a while.

I'm glad you guys had fun and learned a lot and had fun learning a lot, and the new features sound awesome!
