2009-11-16 Thread Chris.Stehno
I guess I missed the first meeting by a day... please keep me up to
date about your next meeting. I am an Android phone owner and Java
developer (starting on some Android projects).

One thing you guys might want to note is that "Droid" is actually a
Lucasfilm trademark licensed by Verizon or Motorola... sometimes the
lawyers get snippy about using things like that in other names. I like
the name though.

Hope to see you at the next meeting.

Chris

Place: Cafe Brazil (since Richardson is central to us)

Time: Tentative plan is 11:30am tomorrow morning, and likely won't
change, but I will announce final decision at 10pm tonight.  Please
read on below.

I've added a sheet to our spreadsheet called "Availability" and
suggested some times on Saturday and Sunday.  Everyone please go there
and say "Yes" or "No" for each timeslot.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al_CwVe6tLzZdExtMFUtem9wdG1saEVrX0JfRHRlYUE&hl=en&invite=COy_w_cE

Tonight I'll look at everyone's availability and announce the official
time (e.g. the one with the most Yes's).

If anyone is interested in joining the "Dallas Droid Devs", just reply
to this thread and let us know that you're interested.

An existing member can then invite you to be a collaborator of our
spreadsheet, so that you can see who we are, see what all is going on,
and tell us about yourself.

I vote for the 14th!  (I'm out of town on the 21st.)

I was about to ask everyone where they lived and a bunch of other
info, then I realized it would be easier if we just had a shared
spreadsheet.

So guys, I've created a Google Docs spreadsheet that we can all edit!
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tLm0U-zoptmlhEk_B_DteaA&hl=en

It's not too fancy, but please note that it does have multiple sheets/
tabs at the bottom:
"Members": Go here and enter your profile info so that we can see
where you live, what your skills/interests are, etc.
"Meetings": List of meetings.  For now I went ahead and put the 14th
down for our first meeting!
"Notes": Put random notes/discussions/crap about the group here.

I'll give everyone (in this discussion) permissions to edit the
spreadsheet.  If you have trouble viewing or editing it, let me know
and I'll try to fix it.

 14th or 21st both are good for me.
How about the others?

 I think the biggest barrier to forming a local Android Dev group is
 the fact that developers can hang out in the IRC channel (and this
 Google group) and find lots of discussion there, from the comfort (and
 whim/speed) of their own homes.  So, some people might not feel the
 extra effort is worth it.

 So an important step to creating a successful Dallas Android Dev group
 is to brainstorm and come up with a convincing list of incentives to
 create/join a local group.  Developers will ask, "What can the Dallas
 group offer me that the worldwide community can't?"

 The answer is stuff like:
 * Job placement: When Dallas devs get together, they can share info
 about local opportunities
 * Discuss local interests (like... uh... Dallas Cowboys?
 Whataburger?  hahaha...)
 * Get out of the house and meet in person
 * etc.

 I'm personally not gifted at organizing social events, but I'd
 strongly consider joining/supporting.

"Dallas Droid Devs".  It's catchy.  Quick, someone reserve the domain!

I think the biggest barrier to forming a local Android Dev group is
the fact that developers can hang out in the IRC channel (and this
Google group) and find lots of discussion there, from the comfort (and
whim/speed) of their own homes.  So, some people might not feel the
extra effort is worth it.

So an important step to creating a successful Dallas Android Dev group
is to brainstorm and come up with a convincing list of incentives to
create/join a local group.  Developers will ask, "What can the Dallas
group offer me that the worldwide community can't?"

The answer is stuff like:
* Job placement: When Dallas devs get together, they can share info
about local opportunities
* Discuss local interests (like... uh... Dallas Cowboys?
Whataburger?  hahaha...)
* Get out of the house and meet in person
* etc.

I'm personally not gifted at organizing social events, but I'd
strongly consider joining/supporting.
