Event Update

[Alice Carback]

I am very excited to announce the NEW event details!

Details

When
Saturday, August 8th, 2009 from 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Where

UMBC AOK Library: 1000 Hilltop Circle, Baltimore, MD 21250 —
http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/directions/

Call me if you get lost trying to find the library, 443-977-6733

Parking: Library parking meters and permits are not enforced on
weekends.

Wifi: The wireless network for visitors is called UMBC Visitors.

Special Note: My most sincere apologies to the Washington DC &
Northern VA. There was no way we could all fit in the Panera. The
library has more than enough room. The first floor allows talking and
food is allowed in the Atrium.

Food: There is a great local restaurant. If everybody brings $5 we can
order pizza.

Tentative Schedule

There will be repeating session of the same introductory material. The
whole time feel free to pull up to a table with other developers to
talk, plan, and code!

Session I: 12pm – 2PM

Session II: 2PM – 4PM

Session III: 4PM – 6PM

Each session will cover:

* Intro to webOS & the Mojo SDK
* How to Install and Use the SDK
* A Guided Hello World
* Beyond the Basics & How to navigate developer.palm.com

About the Event

That’s a long event time. You can come and stay as long as you want
when you want. In general, this is an un-conference style event with
some presentations and tutorials being given during the more structure
times.

What will be covered? You will get at least how to use the SDK to get
an application start and build a “Hello World” application. With
people coming and going, I can’t guarantee much more; but with the SDK
available and fellow developers at hand, who knows how far you can go
in 1 day!

I already know the SDK. Please consider volunteering! Contact me at
alice.carbac...@gmail.com and let me know what material you
can help people out with. Presentations, tutorials, or just being on
hand to answer questions would be awesome!

There will be prizes. You could win a copy of Palm webOS from
O’Reilly. We’ll have a couple activities (details to come) where the
prize will be a copy of the book. Update: We have A LOT of books.
Chances of you leaving with a book are good. That’s a $45 book.

I want someone to write an application for me. Also, awesome. Please
email me and in...@predevcamp.org and let the organizers know.

What do I need? Mostly a computer and a willingness to learn, but
here’s a brief check list:

* Your laptop and everything you need for it: power cord,
adapters, travel mouse, etc.
* The SDK. If you haven’t registered at developer.palm.com and
installed the SDK I highly recommend it. We’ll show you how to use it.
* Powerstrip. We won’t have an outlet per person on the on the
wall so we’ll have to share.
* Notebook and pencil. It wouldn’t hurt to jot down notes or
ideas.
* Some money for food. We’ll be in downtown Silver Spring so
you’ll have some options other than Panera.

If you have any questions or I didn’t cover something, please do not
hesitate to email me at alice.carbac...@gmail.com

Trying to guage response, if we get any, about who among the VA/DC set
would prefer to do something local rather than drive to Baltimore...
