Android Development Day II - sponsored by Squidwrench
3 weeks 1 day ago

Round one of Android Develepment Day was a huge success, so we're doing it again. Once again, bring your computer, cable, and Android device and let's help each other hack some Android apps. Almost everybody left with Hello, Android running (and some got quite a lot further) so start thinking about what you'd like to do next. For the up-to-date details, see the Squidwrench site page for ADD II.

Notes and photos (terribly late) from the December meeting - Lightening Talk Extravaganza!
5 weeks 1 day ago

The December meeting turned out to be a quickly put together set of Lightening Talks from the membership. the planned speaker was unable to attend, so with only a day to spare, the call was put out for anyone willing to give a short talk on pretty much anything.

27 members attended. I personally think it worked very well.
