This month of August 2006, Mobile Monday Austin turns 1 year old… In this past year we had a great set of topics and presenters, best of the best, from Nokia and Opera Software and M:Metrics, to local startups such as Raak Technologies and Bones in Motion and others, and individuals such as Michael Yuan and Carlo Longino — thanks to everyone! Without our sponsors and community, Mobile Monday Austin wouldn't be possible.
Our Austin mailing list is currently at approximately 80 members, we have developed a great relationship with the Austin Wireless Alliance and the Austin Technology Council, and with our sponsors, and our events consistently get 50+ attendees — this is awesome, and more than we had expected when we started this. Our mission is “promote mobile technologies, industry and research, and foster cooperation among individuals, the industry and academia”, and we are doing that. Mobile Monday is now a true global community with chapters all around the world.
This last couple of months we took a break — Mobile Monday is ran by volunteers and sometimes it is hard to solidify a schedule (in our spare time). But please note that we have been working on the schedule for the rest of the year, and that we are securing some good topics and folks to come present… It will be good… Please stay tuned…
