It’s time for another devHuis. If you are interested in exploring how to reach out of the screen and how to build a cool wireless application then your’re in the right place. We are again focusing on coding for this session. So this is an open call to all developers or aspiring learning developers. We’ll cover the basics of how to build an application based on the Roomware Project framework, and then break out into groups, get coding and then present our freshly minted work at the end of the afternoon. Should be a lot of fun!

Nulaz office has drums!

This time its for geeks only. We will be showing you around the basics of the roomware server and how you can customize it for your own purposes by building extra modules to support other standards (RFID, cell ID, wifi, etc) or to develop your own wireless location based applications. There will also be some discussion on development of a mobile client.

When: Saturday, 2nd February, 2008, 10 am

Noel is currently traveling the world finding out what makes creative people tick on no less than seven continents. During this awesome road trip he is shooting a documentary and will eventually write a book. All of this supported by you the people, so if you like what he is doing be sure to donate a bit of cash on his website so he can keep on truckin’. In return you’ll receive your very own copy of his travel tales.

Episode 14 – Roomware Devhouse

We’ll use this DevHuis to show off some of Tom Burger and Nick Palmer’s latest updates to the RoomWare server code (still unreleased at this time), discuss general progress, imagine the future and have some fun.

Upcoming server updates:

- RFID support, scan those passports
- Java Bluetooth library for the Mac, the one and only
- Server redesign, “more configurable, less fuzzy”

We are always open to ad-hoc presentations and showing off your latest code, tech or ideas. Let us know if you’ve built anything cool that you would like to present.

We’ve moved this DevHuis to the Post CS building next to Amsterdam Central Station where Wakoopa will kindly host our event on the 8th Floor (suite 804). We’ll be there starting around 12:00 until dinner in town nearby.

Add your name to the Upcoming guest roster!

Our latest DevHouse, or DevHuis as Andy thinks we should call it, was held this saturday and led to a much clearer picture of our architecture and roadmap. We did get merry and drink beer also. All was well. I’ll post some notes to the wiki as soon as i have that up and running again. We are working on a new site too which is being HTML-ed as i type this by the wonderful Sjors. We’ll try to have that online a.s.a.p. Furthermore i’m setting up a single mailinglist for all the people involved in the project, you should receive notifcation when i have set it up and you joined us in the past.
