CocoaHeads Richmond
The inaugural meeting was a great success. We had an iPhone heavy contingent. Four iPhone devs, two recent Cocoa converts, and me.
- Jeff Rock developed Tumblrette, the app I’m using to write this.
- John Maddox developed Summizer and Streaks.
- Eddie Wilson developed Snow Reports and Streaks.
- Mike Schrag does secret things with WebObjects, and developed Color.
- Jon Lumpkin is a .Net developer for the county of Henrico.
- Jamie Pinkham is a .Net developer for Ironworks.
Since it was our first meeting, we skipped a formal presentation and discussed what we hoped to get out of a group about Cocoa. Everyone felt strongly that we wanted to not be the smartest one around, constantly acting as mentor to the rest of the group. I think we’ve got enough variation and expertise between the seven of us that someone will always be able to teach the rest of us something. Heck, I’m the only one with desktop app experience.
So, I’m looking forward to re monthly meetings. I only wish I’d known earlier that Richmond had a group of like-minded developers.
