gnocode

Since it was requested, these are the notes from our December meeting.

2010

This was just a quick attempt to figure out the groups ideas and goals for the future. Any more ideas can be posted in the comments.

• Where is the group going?
• Presentation ideas

Upcoming Events

• NO Learning – Structured learning from individuals and their expertise
• Test Driven Development – Workshop by and for local developers
• Ted Neward coming to GNO .NET users group on January 12th

SXSW Trip

• New Orleans and LA grassroots group travels to SXSW festival in Austin, TX
• Share New Orleans opportunities at national and global event
• March 12-16, 2010
• Open to anyone to attend or volunteer to organize
• Trip is partially funded through sponsorship
• We hope to get a good representation of software developers and technical talent from NO
• See the list below for a project connected to the trip.

Projects

We still aim to make community projects a major part of gnocode. So far we have found that good projects are hard to find. There are a couple in the works:

• Resource Directory
  • Directory for local business and organizations to find local technical talent.
  • Technology: .NET
    • Project manger has been chosen and begun. If you are interested in contributing post a comment or get in touch with us directly.
• NOLA Showcase
  • Website to showcase New Orleans’ software development firms and innovation
  • Target alpha deadline is for the March 2010 SXSW trip;
  • Project Manager: Looking for a volunteer
• iPhone Mystery Project
  • It’s a mystery
  • (Ok…a hint. It’s for a non-profit you will recognize.)

That’s it for now. See you in 2010!
