Larry McDonough
I'm bringing two senior engineers from the Android team with me to present on the architecture, demo the tools, and answer your toughest questions. Also, don't forget to bring your APKs early to the event. We'll be converting them to PlayBook on the spot and then talking about the experience in the presentation. See you on the 16th!

Hi Lawrence and all!
Is there any chance for me and my partner to present about Bazaar (www.bazaarandroid.com) in the meet up?
Bazaar is not just another marketplace for Android apps!
Bazaar gives developers and publishers the possibility to have their own marketplace! Bazaar has over 160,000 daily page views! Bazaar is available in 8 different languages, has achieved over 14,000 active users, more than 20,000 different applications and over 10 million apps download!Posted November 11, 2011 at 10:44 AM -

lawrenceEvent HostCo-OrganizerExcellent presentations from RIM team. Larry, Rajeev and Martin gave very compelling reasons why mobile developers should be targeting App World. Android developers get the bonus that most android apps can be ported with minimum effort. The playbook giveaway to every attendee was a pleasant surprise! Onur gave an update on Skype on Android. Looking forward to hearing more about that in a future meetup event. Keith and Skype team did a great job hosting the event.

kentThis was a great session. I learned a bunch about a company that I had thought only used proprietary RIM software and was on a down hill slide. However they informed me that they are doing well and using Android. Additionally they gave us PLAYBOOKS so that we could develop apps on their tablets!! Awesome!

-
Karl PohlThe skype presentation was a little weak -- nothing really new the blackberry presentation was excellent --- a lot of tips for blackberry apps development - sounds like blackberry is interested on android development could be an earnings opportunity - and a big thanks for the playbook giveaway.
-
-
Shao XiaThe good thing was the free playbook, but the only interesting part of the discussion last night was the architecture one while the others not being very technical.
-
Leo OchoaVery informative. Great speakers. RIM developer champion did really great job (except for the "RIM will come after you" sentece, haha). He completely changed my view on RIM.
-
-
Guy W McNallyAs good as it gets. Great venue, first class organisation (tip of the hat to Lawrence and Nelson!) and quality presentations.
-
Brad SmithPlease put up the presentations from the meetup. I would like to follow up on the internals slide which got skipped over. I would be happy to put together a discussion on "internals" for an up comming meetup.
-
Kaamel KermaaniPizza and drinks, enthusiastic and knowledgeable presenters, excellent topics, great venue, and to top it off, free Playbooks for everyone! Just perfect!
-
-
PatrickVery good, especially since RIM was so generous to give all attendees a Playbook each. RIM also explained well the basics of Android over its new BBX OS.
