OK, I came back today totally excitied about what I have seen and heard there and I really feel like to share my thoughts, and I am looking forward to read what the other attendees would like to share as well.
Oh, yes, I have been at the Mobile Unconference Düsseldorf Edition today, a kind of BarCamp just a little bit more structured but as fun as any other I guess (Well, it has been my first one - for sure not the last one - but I have had heard a lot about those *meetings* and well, being there looked even better!).
The day started with a pre-unconferrence breakfast with @thedeftone and @apsorizor, at the end, the best way to start is with you stomach happy, isn’t it?
At around 10a.m. we were there a very cool location for a BarCamp. A few people was there already but we had to queue up in the line to register (and, being myself Italian, I am always amazed when a queue really looks like a line) - easygoing, a few minutes and I was in with my stickers with written on it my name and, of course, my twitter.
Already there there were a lot of known faces from Vodafone D2 and Appseleration and by the time a lot of tweeps shown up as well.
The kick-off session started with around 30 mins of delay since the “Geek Bus” from the Netherlands was stuck in traffic jams (but I believe they had a good time on the bus, they had Internet connection!!).
So, @silentjohnny, @geeroc and @kucborski together with the other organisers (sorry guy I forgot your name/twitters - I would be very please to add them here if you just tell me!) to introduce the journey and to help us to break the ice. So, the after the introduction, the guys queued up again (and well, yes, still in a line!) to propose their talk to the crowd, and the panel got sold old quite soon end, trust me, with no one boring topic!
I won’t describe (now!) every single talk I have being attending, but I would just like to share some keywords that got me impressed: Windows Phone 7, cross-platform, wikiki, WAC, apparat.io and, last but not least, Ripple.
Check them out!
I forgot to mention that I got to finally meet the apparat.io guys @wolframkriesing and @void_0 which also gave a very good insight to their tools and shared a some very cool use-cases of cross-platform apps!
Oh, well, I also have got some gadgets:
