Sydney Mobile Development Meetup Group
When: Wed Oct 26, 6:00pm
Where: Aurora Hotel, 324 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills
I just joined the group and saw that back in July 7, 6 of us met up. Now there are 59 members (including me!) so I thought we should meet up again. This would be a great opportunity for general discussion, networking, partnerships, troubleshooting and meeting some like-minded people. I know Tuesday lunch may initially sound like a weird time and day, but hoping that most of us might work in the CBD, having it Tuesday lunch will hopefully not clash with our other appointments and commitments. I’m happy for another suggested time if this doesn’t suit the majority. Venue should be the same as last time. Don’t know if they have Wi-Fi, but we wouldn’t be mobile developers if we didn’t have mobile devices on 3/4G, right?
