Sept 14 2008: MobileWidget Camp Austin Photos have been posted to Flickr. If you took photos, and are sharing them someplace like Flickr, please tag them "mobilewidgetcampaustin." View all images at Flickr with that tag. If you share your images with another service, please add the link above. Please tag images as you browse them: It'll be nice to know who we're looking at, so if you are in a photo, tag it with your name. Some people hate having themselves be searchable on the internet, so only tag others if you know them personally and are pretty sure they don't care, or if they are pretty well known otherwise (so there are lots of photos out there already). If unclear, restrict tagging to yourself.

Also, some of the presentations given at this event are now available on Slideshare under the tag "mobilewidgetcampaustin"].

 

Your Widgets?

Chaals' Opera feed reader Ok, so this is wimping out. I made this using Widgetize! (an Opera thing that makes a widget out of an RSS feed, and even though it is really simple to do, Vale helped too). Get this using Opera desktop...

 

Okay, ours is even weaker. It's not even a functional widget. But its the winning idea! So, we made a complete spec doc, so someone else is free to code it up for us. Blog post with link to it here:

What is MobileWidget Camp?

 

"MobileWidgetCamp is a BarCamp-inspired event that mixes structured presentations with unconference-style community participation. It is an ad-hoc gathering of mobility professionals and enthusiasts..."

Event schedule has been posted! Developers, bring your laptops, and go to the event hyperlink for instructions on downloading the Yahoo! and Nokia Widget SDKs, which will be use during the coding labs.

 

It is an ad-hoc gathering of mobility professionals and enthusiasts who come together to discuss, present and see presentations, learn how to code, and in general, exchange information, all focusing on the emerging space of mobile Widgets and Web Applications.

 

The event is being jointly organized by C. Enrique Ortiz of MobileMonday Austin and Daniel Appelquist of MobileMonday London, and the Austin Technology Incubator. This event is possible thanks to all of our sponsors.

 

Where?

 

The spanking new at&t Executive Education & Conference Center, at the University of Texas, Austin, TX.

 

See Hotel information.

 

When?

 

One Day, 7th of September 2008, 10am - 8pm.

 

Stop by Austin on your way to CTIA.

 

Who should come?

 

Developers, designers, evangelists, strategists from the mobile and Web ecosystems.

 

Why?

 

The word on everyone's lips these days is "widgets." The promise of mobile widgets is to open up the field of mobile development and create a new wave of mobile application innovation. This event will try to capture the state of the art of this emerging field. In addition to learning about innovations in this area and interacting directly with the pioneers in this space, we'll put the focus on some activities going on in OMTP and W3C to chart the future of mobile widgets and webapps and give YOU the opportunity to critique and influence these activities.

 

And the timing is great. The Open Mobile Terminal Platform organization is holding a week of meetings in the great city of Austin on the week of the 8th of September. As such, technical experts from around the world whose focus is building a new framework for mobile widgets and Web applications, the recently announced BONDI effort; and all of them will be in Austin. So why not take advantage of this opportunity to hold a special Camp focusing on mobile widgets?

 

There will also be live coding of widgets with a showcase at the end of the day for the best widgets developed on site. You'll leave with a much greater appreciation of the mobile widgets (and Web Apps) ecosystem - both what is happening in upcoming standards and what's available NOW in the various Widget and WebApp platforms available today.

Agenda

 

The event will feature a mix of structured content (talks and tutorials) and unstructured content, BarCamp-style. The agenda consists of formal and informal tracks:

 

Please note that this event deviates a little bit from traditional BarCamps in that we are introducing some structured sessions. The reason for this is that we are having a number of experts in town that week, and we would like to maximize and take advantage of this for the benefit of the attendees, some who will be traveling from across the United States and the world. No harm to the BarCamp name is intended by this event.

 

Registration begins at 9:30am. See the Event Schedule.
