Meeting

I'll be heading over to the iPhone Developers Meeting tonight, August 21, to see fellow local iPhone aficionados and developers. Christopher Allen ( www.lifewithalacrity.com ) is the de facto force behind the recent iPhoneDevCamp & Hack-a-thon, as well as the extremely active iPhoneWebDev Google group.

...Of course, if anyone had actually _had_ an iPhone, things might have been different. ;-)

Thanks to all who came to Berkeley for our most recent meeting -- we had quite a turnout! I wasn't doing a head count, but there were upwards of 20 (30?) people at CheathamLane's digs. Next time, I'll make sure to find a reputable pizza delivery...

The date for our next get-together is Tuesday, January 9 2007 at 7 PM.

To give busy Macworlders a break, I happily offer up my office space in Berkeley as a new venue. For those who came to John Greenleigh's before, I'm just a few blocks away -- San Pablo Avenue at Bancroft Way.

The date for the next California Bay Area get-together is Thursday, October 5 2006 at 7 PM. John Greenleigh has again offered to host the meeting at Flipside Studios in Berkeley . Thanks in advance John! (directions)

Presentations in October will include:
* Kevin O'Connor is one of the country's leading experts on digital workflow and color-management, and will let us know some of the best ways to make color behave. His talk will be excellent for both film and digital shooters.

It looks like September is a busy month for many of us, so we're now looking at October 4 or 5 in Berkeley for our quarterly meeting of Bay Area panoramic photographers!

Some of us may be a little jet-lagged from Photokina, while others may be packing for the VR Summit in Lisbon, but I hope everyone can make time to get together.

Please email me if you have any questions or conflicts, or want to be added to the email list.

We have a rough outline of discussions and short presentations -- this may change, subject to some folks' availability. But, here we go:

7:00 - 7:30, socializing

I'll be using my blog to keep everyone informed of the latest and greatest about our informal get-togethers in the Berkeley/East Bay California area.

We generally meet one evening each quarter, in Berkeley. Folks from up and down the Bay Area head over for some light food & drink, interesting presentations by industry pros...
