CocoaDevHouse Amsterdam

Initiated by Blake Burris from CocoaRadio and organised by Katie from MacTones, last Friday and Saterday there was a cocoa community meeting here in Amsterdam. Normally that's not my cup of tea, those geek meetings ;) Non the less I went as it was an opertunity for me to meet some of the rare to find cocoa developers in my home town.

I met with StuffMc from the PomPomPom podacts, who's a great guy who does a lot of fun stuff. We might do a podcast on icon and interface design in the near future.

I also met Dirk Stoop, I saw him do a presentation on a project called Etalage he has been working on with a friend, it looked really interesting. I could see the project needed some icons and perhaps some UI consulting. So I walked up to him and we had a really nice talk the next day, perhaps we will work together in the future.

All in all it was a nice happening, nothing ground breaking. And considereing the fact that I was only able to stick around for 3 to 4 hours, due to work, I had a great time. I'd be all for developing the CocoaDevHouse Amsterdam into a more productive happening with more clear goals, instead of it being a geek hang out.

Some pictures of the event can be found on flickr.
