Free/Open Source Mobile Development @ Waterloo, Canada
Today I attend this great event organized by fosslc.org and FOSSFactory.org. Videocast of it should be posted relatively soon, look for it at the event’s page.
It lasted for about 6 or so hours (we went over time for nearly an hour), and was great fun!
I won’t go into details at this time (mainly because it is very late…), but here are some highlights:
I’ve met personally with Jay Freeman aka saurik and had a chance to talk to him for some time after the end of the event. He is, among other awesome things, a creator of Cydia (iPhone APT frontend used on 1.5 million jailbroken devices).

Also, I got a chance to talk to Dilpreet Singh from Life360.com (one of the winners of the Google Android Developers Challenge), and hopefully will be contacting him soon regarding jumping in into Android development, as it is pretty high up on my priority list at the moment.
There was also Jean-Michel Bouffard from openmokast. I didn’t know much about OpenMoko other that that it exists, so it was very interesting to listen to his presentation and watch a development workshop.
I’ll be posting some photos later on as well.
Overall, great event! Thanks to all great people at fosslc and FOSSFactory for organizing this!
