360iDev – Wiki
If you saw the announcement of BOF sessions, you know we have a wiki we use for the ad hoc stuff around the conference.
We updated the wiki for one more bit of ad hoc. Activities.
If you’re planning a trip to the mothership or hitting a specific bar one night, or a movie on Wednesday or lunch on Saturday before the conference, whatever. Post it on the activities page of the wiki.
This way folks looking for the fun, can find it easily ;) It truly does suck to have to hunt for fun :)
On the main page of the wiki is also a few links for hotel searches in the area. If you missed the room block, shame on you, but we don’t want ya sleepin’ on the street, so check those links for other options.
360iDev – Birds of a Feather sessions
For those that don’t know what a Birds Of a Feather session is, it’s basically an ad hoc session organized by attendees or speakers, or anyone really for that matter (sorry can’t walk in off the street, gotta at least be an attendee).
Maybe it’s a Sci fi meetup or how to best create app icons, or a round table chat about the benefits of core data… whatever you want, literally. We’ve got a wiki set up with a BOFs page.
360iDev – Recorded Speaker Chats
If you haven’t been able to join us for the last few speaker chats, you’re missing out. They’re great sources of information and a great way to get to know the speakers before 360|iDev.
360iDev – Publishers, books, authors oh my.
We haven’t really made much noise about this, but thought it was time to do so. We’ve got some awesome friends in publishing! What other event will you have O’Reilly, Manning, and Apress raffling books, giving away goodies, etc. Where else will so many authors of so many books be under on roof? I think [...]

360iDev Speaker apps highlighted
We’re just starting this initiative, so keep an eye on the apps page for frequent updates.
I’ll admit, this idea wasn’t ours, but we love it. We tell you often how incredible our speakers are, and their bios typically tell you about some of the apps they’ve built, but not always.
So from now on, and going back retroactively, we’re going to maintain a 360|iDev speaker apps page. Well organize it by “Class” ie. San Jose 2009, Denver 2009, San Jose 2010, etc. so the page will grow. It’ll be a place where attendees can see the calibre of our speakers, and hopefully a place our speakers can get a bit more exposure for their apps. We’ll display the app icon, name, and link to iTunes.
Hopefully this will help attendees and potential attendees (and even sponsors) realize the awesomeness of our speakers. They’re pros! and deserve as much recognition as we can give them!
360iDev – In Pictures
I posted about what you do and don’t get, and we’ve done more posts than I can count on the overall vibe, and the parties etc. So I wanted to take a minute to just post some pictures of the past 360|iDev events. I grabbed these off of flickr. The technical content you get at 360|iDev is beyond compare, truly, feel free to ask anyone who’s attended, but that’s just part of the story. The rest is the community of iPhone developers geeking out, sharing stories, code, forming companies, finding work, etc.
What you won’t see or get at 360iDev
It occurred to me, that it might be a good idea to make it clear what does/doesn’t happen at 360|iDev for those who might not know.
If you haven’t registered for 360|iDev, you’re missing out. This is a quote from past speaker Jake Behrens, “@360iDev Thank you! The conference put my life in a direction I never imagined I’d be in. You rock!“
360iDev Speaker Chat – Collin Donnell
Join us tomorrow for the next 360|iDev speaker chat. Collin Donnell is a 360|iDev Alum, having presented at all three conferences so far (Including San Jose ’10)
Tomorrow you’ll be able to ask Collin anything you like. He’s got plenty to share, you can also ask him the going exchange rate for pizza’s to freelance pay :D
Bookmark this link, tomorrow 12pm Mountain Time.
If you haven’t registered for 360|iDev, you’re missing out. We’ll be talking about things, that will be huge in 6 months. And of course if iPad development interests you, well we’re probably the first conference that will have hands-on the device and sessions geared towards this new exciting device. Use this link to register, help Collin get an awesome room at the Marriott
360iDev – Volunteer to help out and get in free
We realize that the economy still a little suck-tastic. As you may know we try to keep our events as cost effective as possible, 40 sessions, Sunday hands on. Hotel block pricing to help lower the cost of staying near the event, etc.
Sometimes it’s not enough, we get that. Back in September we experimented with having volunteers. We’ve had temps at past events (360|Flex San Jose ’07 and Seattle) and while that works ok, we tried to reduce the need, because that helped keep our costs low.
BUT
We’ve realized, time and again that we still need manpower at certain points, and in fact we’re planning to increase our need (More on that later).
Registration is a bottleneck, whether it’s just Tom and I, or my wife Nicole, or anyone else who pities us in our time of greatest need.
SO…
