Thanks to everyone that made it out last night to our 4th Mobile Twin Cities
meeting! We had a great turnout and I appreciate getting a chance to meet
everyone that was there. I hope you learned, networked and enjoyed meeting
to discuss everything mobile here in the Twin Cities.

A BIG THANK YOU to Breon Nagy ( http://www.breon.com/ ) for recording the
event and streaming it realtime and archiving it on YouStream.tv. Videos
from the meeting are archived and available at:

If time and interest permits, I would like to keep the streaming and
recording of presentations going. Let me know if you find the video a nice
feature and something you use to catchup and review the presentations.

Here's a quick summary of the meeting notes:

1. Mark Jenkins gave a great presentation on "Knowing Your Customer", which
showed many of the ways that developers and product managers can take a
closer look at WHO you should be selling your mobile product to and other
avenues and markets to that you can reach. Very insightful and I highly
suggest watching the video of his presentation.

2. Justin Grammens (me) shared some of the tidbits that I learned from the
Google/IO.

3. Frank Powell passed out a survey for the members of the group to take on
their technical background. The hope is that members of the group might be
able to seek resources from people how have skills in those areas through
the group. Breon Nagy suggested using Google Forms to collect more
information. It would be kind of nice I think to have protected page where
members of our mailing list are able to see the names and skill sets of
others in the group. Another way to handle this would be to post if you have
any needs to the group and let the members of the group reply if they have
skills in those areas. Thoughts?

Thanks to Ernest Grumbles ( http://unhub.com/ernestgrumbles ) for providing
beverages for the meeting and of course our great friends at Refactr (
http://refactr.com ) for hosting.

Next month Kyle has offered to talk about "What Symbian has up their
sleeve". I AM LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PRESENTER! If you are interested in
talking about any topic related to mobile... Maybe someone wants to talk
about Palm Pre or Blackberry Storm? Please let me know. I'm also looking for
someone to sponsor food and/or drinks.

Any questions, please let me know and check out the archived videos if you
missed the meeting.

See you on July 21st!

Thanks,
Justin

I have updated the homepage with the date for July and moved the
details of last month into the "archive" section, there's a link at
the top of the website or you can get to it from at
http://mobiletwincities.com/archive.html

For next month we have:
Kyle Cunningham - presenting  on Nokia and "what's up their sleeve?"
I'm looking for another presenter... please let me know if you are
interested in talking about anything mobile related. We do still have
the "fishbowl" discussion on native v.s. write once run anywhere we
can do if needed and I've got a few other presentation ideas I can do
to fill the space, but as I have stressed before, mobile is big space,
lots of platforms, lots of angles and I'd like these meetings to cover
a lot of different topics, so don't be shy!
