macMacDevs[3] = Glasgow_Offshore

May 21st, 2008

macMacDevs[3] will be held at Offshore, 3/5 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU, on Thursday 29 May 2008, from 19:00 until whenever.

As always, nothing formal planned: just turn up and chat, show off new code, and try to predict what’s going to be announced at WWDC08.

Let me know if you’re coming by emailing david at macmacdev dot com so I have a rough idea of numbers.

macMacDevs[2] = Edinburgh_Baroque

May 6th, 2008

Our first East-coast meeting will be held at Baroque, 39-41 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3JU, on Tuesday 13 May 2008, from 19:00 to whenever.

Nothing formal planned, just turn up and chat. If you’re interested in turning up please do so - would be handy if you could email david at macmacdev dot com so we have a rough idea of numbers.

Obviously, West-coast MacMacDevs are free to attend too - email me if you’re thinking about going over to check out the East-coast coders and we can travel through by train together.

macMacDevs[1] = Glasgow_Offshore

April 21st, 2008

macMacDevs[1] will be held at Offshore, 3/5 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU, on Thursday 24 April 2008, from 19:00 until we get tired or the place closes, whichever comes first.

There’s no agenda, no prepared topics, no fancy presentations: just a bunch of geeks with MacBooks. If you’re interested in turning up please do so - let me know you’re coming by emailing david at macmacdev dot com so I can get a rough idea of numbers.

As a close friend (one I’m going to go and see two days after macMacDevs[1]) would say, “See you real soon!”

Go East?

April 11th, 2008

The Pet Shop Boys advocated that we should ‘Go West’, but Apple said ‘Think Different’, hence ‘Go East’.

Not content with getting started, and joining forces with NSScotland, we’re thinking of going east as well: Edinburgh to be precise. So, who would be interested in attending a MacMacDev in Edinburgh? Should we have them on the same day as the Glasgow meetings (so we can iChat from coast to coast?) or different days (so anyone who wanted to could go to both?)

Give me your feedback - either in the comments, or email david at macmacdev dot com.

Welcome NSScotland

March 31st, 2008

It appears that Scottish-based Mac Developer groups are like buses: you wait for ages, and then two come along at once.

We’re pleased to announce that MacMacDev are now joining forces with NSScotland, in a combined effort to create a truly awesome Mac Developer community in Scotland.

Many thanks to Gavin for his help in making this happen.

macMacDevs[0] = Core_Group_Meeting

March 25th, 2008

macMacDevs[0] was held on Tuesday 25 March 2008, seven years and one day after the launch of Mac OS X 10.0.

To commemorate this anniversary, seven Mac geeks formed the CoreGroup of MacMacDev; beta-tested a potential venue for future meetings (let’s just say that particular venue isn’t one we’ll be going back to!); and generally discussed Mac development stuff.

Our next meeting, macMacDevs[1], will be held at OffShore, 3/5 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU, on Thursday 24 April 2008, from 19:00.

For more information, or to let us know you’re thinking of coming along, email david at macmacdev dot com.

Hello world!

March 25th, 2008

Welcome to MacMacDev: the group for Mac Developers in Scotland.

In Scotland? Use Macs? Write code? Come and join MacMacDev. Doesn’t matter if you’re writing for the desktop, the iPhone, or for the web, as long as you’re doing development work on the Mac you’re more than welcome.

We meet on the last Thursday of every month for an evening of geeky conversation and code; nothing too formal, no membership fees, no presentations, just socializing, discussing, coding, debugging, and the occasional bout of whining and rumor-mongering.

We look forward to seeing you at the next MacMacDev!
