Re: San Francisco Bay Area Meetup

2008-07-13 Thread Michael Shiloh
I would love some help with my getting started blog. There are many 
how-tos on the wiki but they need to be tested and verified before I'll 
put them on the gettingstartedopenmoko.wordpress.com.

In a different thread we've discussed the quality of our wiki. Cleaning 
up the wiki will provide me a much better starting point for the how-tos.

 Hi ...

 I have a shiny new FreeRunner that I am planning to play with over the 
 weekend, but I find the information on the Wiki a little hard to get 
 started with.

 I've been developing on Unix since the 80's and comfortable enough to 
 find my way around Linux reasonably well, but I find I could 
 definitely use a little Getting Started help.

 So, is there any interest in meeting up over the next couple of weeks 
 in the San Francisco Bay Area?

 If so, please let us know by editing this page:

 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SFBayAreaGetStarted

 The idea would be to:

 (i) Spread the knowledge around
 (ii) Get some documentation going (I'm happy to document whatever I 
 pick up)
 (iii) Meet a few other people who are nearly as brilliant and forward 
 thinking as yourself!

 Since I have a selfish motive to get this going, I'd be happy to do 
 the organizational legwork if needed :-)

What about a meeting during the Linuxworld that will happen early
August. I'll be there at Canonical's booth.

 Micheal?


Yes, I've seen that. While I'm sure that is all some of you will need, I
found myself wishing I could ask a few basic questions to someone who had
done it before.


I'm thinking of something along the lines of what you'd find in the first
few chapters of a good Nutshell/O'Reilly book.
