Welcome to iPhoneDevCamp Colorado!
Alert! September 1, 2008: 6:00pm, 2930 Larimer
iPhone Developers Meetup
Thats right folks, we are turning this into a monthly meetup. We are going to do the first Monday of every month (we will see if that works for everyone). If you have any suggestions for topics/presenters for this first one, email me! Pizza and beer will be served of course.
8/3/08 - Wow, thanks to everyone who turned out and made the event such an overwhelming success. I want to thank everyone who attended, what a remarkably talented crowd of people we had! Also, our fantastic presenters, Brent Simmons, Bill Dudney and Erica Sadun, thank you for giving us such high quality content and being accessible to attendees. And let's not forget our Sponsors: NewsGator, Useful Networks, EffectiveUI and Double Encore, a big thank you for helping to cover the expenses. We're not done yet! Thanks to the main event organizers in San Francisco (Dom, Raven and Chris) for including us in the event and competition and linking us in via video conference, it was fantastic to see all the other satellite events on the big screen. Finally, I'd like to add a personal note of thanks to Danny Newman who not only handled all the logistics, he also provided the space, and is a lot of fun to work with! THANK YOU EVERYONE! -Joe
PS - Let's do it again, eh? Also, if you have not given us your contact info, or shirt size!, please drop us a note and let us know how to reach you so we can keep you in the loop for next time, too!
PPS - So, yeah, if you missed it, you missed out (thanks to Danielle and Tom for their photos)! But you can see the app that was developed on Sunday (in about 5 hours) "Hum It For Us" -- a revolutionary new application that can recognize a song just by humming it -- in action hopefully coming soon to an appstore near you!
-----
For those who missed the scramble of development Sunday, here is a quick summary. The team assembled an iPhone App called Hum it For Us and you can check it out here: http://hum.itfor.us/hums/learn_more. If you worked on the app, shoot your name and blog/company link to benr@x-cr.com and we'll get your name added to the contributors list. Thx to everyone for coming, and huge thanks to Danny Newman and Joe Pezzillo for making this weekend happen.
Note from Dave Batton: To anyone who attended that didn't already get a complimentary Inspire Me license, just shoot me an email your full name. I'll send you a free license. I started work on the iPhone version Sunday and hope to have it available on the store later this month!

HELP: I need some help prepping the space Thursday or Friday. Please email me if you can swing by! dnewman@gmail.com

7/29/2008: We're finalizing plans now and will have more details up shortly. In answer to one question that we've been getting a lot, "All presentations will only cover publicly available information" but of course that still leaves plenty for us to talk about!

7/22/2008: Just got off the phone for this week's organizer's conference call, and they have more than 500 people signed up in SF. Between the wiki signups and the Facebook page, we seem to have about 30 people signed up here, now, too! More news to come soon, including sponsors, speakers and other details.
7/15/2008: On the phone with the organizers in San Francisco, they're over capacity, so sign up with a satellite now!
7/8/2008: This event is confirmed for Friday August 1st through Sunday August 3rd, 2008 at the id345 co-working space in Denver. Just got off the call with the organizers, there are more than 400 people signed up in San Francisco. We'll be part of the keynotes and participating in the Hack-a-thon for which local developers will be eligible for prizes and visibility!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to the PreliminaryAttendees list so that we may start to get a rough count and determine the best location. If you prefer, there's also a Facebook Event page and Upcoming.org Event entry where you can RSVP.
This is a satellite event of iPhoneDevCamp2 in San Francisco on the same dates. We are planning on being able to watch the keynote from SF live Saturday morning, and participate in the "Hack-a-thon" presentations on Sunday afternoon via videoconference. It is anticipated that the event will be part structured and part BarCamp-like un-conference, very hands-on, and offer something for every skill level.
Here are the rules for the Hack-a-thon competition: http://www.iphonedevcamp.org/contest/
Interested Sponsors for the event are encouraged to contact Daniel Newman in Denver or Joe Pezzillo in Boulder via iphonedevcampco@metafy.com
Like the San Francisco counterpart, this event is in no way affiliated with Apple, Inc.
Other Satellite Events:
iPhoneDevCampPortland
iPhoneDevCampChicago
iPhoneDevCampSeattle
iPhoneDevCampAustin
iPhoneDevCampIndia - we will connect with IPDCIndia late Friday and late Saturday evening/night by videoconference!
