preDevCamp Is Go!

I just released a post on whurley.com entitled “Phone Warz: Revenge Of The Palm?” discussing how ever since I helped pull together iPhoneDevCamp with Raven Zachary and Chris Messina back in ‘06, I’ve been hawking the other manufacturers looking for a legit challenge to the iPhone’s throne; secretly to have another event.

Anyway, I was discussing this whole scenario with @Giovanni and @DanCrumb this weekend, and we had quite an amusing round of “what-ifs.” We had so much fun bumpin’ our gums, we decided to up the ante. Today @Giovanni, @DanCrumb and I (@whurley) are launching preDevCamp 2009.

The event will be held in around 60 cities around the world exactly one week after the U.S. release of the Palm Pre. Since the phone is Linux+WebKit, development should be easy for us to share the love. Tell your friends. Invite your neighbors. We’ve got satellite events lined up in over 30 cities around the world. If you want to enlist, visit the website and tell us your city. If there’s not a leader in that city, then you just got promoted.
