WWDC 2009: Meetups

[Boneoh]

I am tempted to start a thread for attendees of WWDC 2009. Maybe some of us could meet in person, grab a beer in the evening, etc.

Hopefully, we will all be very well behaved if we do meet in real life

Wondering which forum this should go in? Feel free to start the thread if you like, I just couldn't figure out where the best place to put it is.

Also an idea for a new poll.

Are you going to WWDC 2009?

1. Yes, I am a Mac and iPhone developer.
2. Yes, I am a Mac developer, not iPhone.
3. Yes, I am an iPhone developer, not Mac.
4. No, I am not going

This would be interesting to me, just to see how many folks from here are going, and what their specialties are.

Thanks!

I've moved this into Community Discussion, retitled and stickied it until June, and for all intents and purposes, this may as well be the thread. I am unable to add a poll though... although people can introduce themselves in this thread.

Poll added...with an additional "yes" option for those who are going but may not be developers for whatever reason.

Great thinking on that one, WildCowboy! I didn't think of that one.

Thanks for pointing me in the right place, Blue Velvet!



Ok, everyone, please post here if you are going and would like to meet up!

I am a developer but am unable to go because I don't have the funds...

It looks fun though

Hotel hookups

Hey,

I'm travelling down to WWDC alone and was looking for some people to room with.

Anyone up for splitting a room for the 4 nights of the conference?

Or anyone know of a different forum to find people that are going?

(I'm a guy).

 

[Malfoy]

I might take you up on the offer. I need to check on a few things first though.

 

[Compile 'em all]
