Update 2- After the Meetup

For those of you who couldn't make it last night here's a quick breakdown of what happened, or at least the main points

  • 4 of us turned up (Abizer, Nik, Ron and Richy) and eventually found each other and after brief introductions we discussed Abizers experiences at the CocoaDevHouse Amesterdam.
So When Exactly?

9th September 2006.

  • Based on (or stolen from) those it seemed that a good format for the event would be an informal friday afternoon/evening for introductions, drinking and general chatting and discussion followed by a full day Saturday of coding and experimenting.
  • Richy will be finding out more about the venue this weekend, although Simon from bitcartel software has pointed me at http://www.ideastore.co.uk/ which also seems a good option (especially for the hard core coding) - what does everyone think?
  • Richy will also look into t-shirts. Ideally we'll do something like having the cocoadevhouse London logo on the front and a bunch of company names (i.e. sponsors) on the back. So is anyone wishing to chip in a few quid to help sponsor them? I really don't think it'll be expensive (and think of the exposure!) I'll get back to you with full prices.
  • Abizer will be sorting out stickers.
  • Turns out Ron has an - and I quote - 'spare x-serve' we can use and probably most of the gear to set up the video stuff - given sufficient outbound bandwidth. Abizer and Nik have some server capacity to donate to streaming as well (I think they said that). **Turns out Nik's is only RealVideo? so not ideal**
  • We had a few app ideas based mainly around music and diving (oddly)

Update 1- Meeting 02/08/2006

To kick things off a few of us will be meeting at the Crosse Keys, Bank on Weds 2nd August from about 6.30pm This is really just a 'get to know each other' kind of event, all of the planning will be done on the wiki here for those of you who can't make it.
