Monday: iPhone App Localization — Practical Advice for Successful Global Applications
Jason Grigsby
Thanksgiving, we wanted to move November's meeting earlier in the
month, and had planned on canceling October's meeting in favor of a
joint Oct/Nov meeting on November 12th featuring Dan Grigsby (no
relation) from the Mobile Orchard site. He gave a similar presentation
at the 360dev conference that people were raving about.
We're still going to have that meeting on November 12th. However, we
were fortunate to learn that Aaron Schliem was visiting Portland on
Monday. Aaron volunteered to step in to discuss how to localize iPhone
applications to sell into other markets.
So that explains the late notice. I hope people are still able to
attend. We're very pleased to have Aaron. It looks like a great topic
for our group.
One other quick note: a lot of mobile events are happening in
November. We've put a calendar in this email to help make it easier to
track.
