MobileCamp is an ad-hoc unconference-style meetup for anyone interested in the mobile web. Connect with mobile web developers, designers or content creators in and around Vancouver to discuss, share and extend your knowledge on how to design, develop and market mobile web apps, services or content.
Every first Monday of the month 100 of the smartest local minds will share their ideas in places that we all love. The new WINBC Mobile Monday Vancouver (MoMoVan) starting Monday, October 1st is going back to its grass roots origins.
FROM HELSINKI’S MOMO GLOBAL SUMMIT TO VANCOUVER’S LOCAL INNOVATORS
Are you an interested, opinionated developer, entrepreneur, CEO, Ph.D or student ready to share with others your thoughts, ideas, and solutions around our local wireless industry and Web 2.0 community? Are you ready to have fun?
How about free pizza, free beer (1st round), and free parking?
We have listened to people like you and developed an event that YOU want:
To enable an open conversation that is relevant to the wireless and Web 2.0 community in Vancouver and BC
To facilitate opportunities for casual networking, identifying local talent, building strategic partnerships and business development
To promote local innovation and collaboration in the wireless and Web 2.0 industry from small start-ups to large companies to research labs
To have FUN
** You must register, even if you are not paying a fee, by Friday, September 28, 2007.
I had a nice conversation with Mark Schneider of Now Public yesterday about how to encourage their users to put more mobile content on their "worldwide citizen journalism newsagency" site. I wrote up a summary on the Bryght public wiki that is specific to Drupal sites like Now Public but generally applies to any website.
The general rule should be to provide as many roads to Drupal as possible! The base technology (i.e. protocols like email, MetaWeblogAPI and Atom Publishing Protocol) are relatively "easy", getting something usable and useful on the mobile device is the hard part.
Steph and Bryan Rieger gave a fantastic presentation on mobile phones and devices today at Vidfest covering their remarkable learning journey, Flash Lite, why CDMA phones s*ck :-) , etc. . More proof that their expertise on mobile and mobile content is both deep and wide (don't believe me? believe mopocket!). We are lucky to them and their company, yiibu in Vancouver.
