NIMUG

These are two informal meetups for people interested in Mac OS X and iPhone OS X development.

The first is being held in Belfast on the 19th February, the second in Dublin on the 24th Feb.

These are informal meetups just to see who’s interested.

Due to a conflict with MobileMondayBelfast, we’re postponing the January meeting for a week and it’ll be on the 26th (the fourth Monday). We’re still looking out for any demo that can be prepped in time.

Agenda

• CrossOver Office- Simon Whittaker to give a demo using Crossover Office on the mac to get outlook/project 2000 etc in a Windows office. He has been a Mac user for about 5 years and uses a MacBook Pro for work and a G4 PowerBook for home. He works as the Infrastructure & Hosting Manager for a local company where they use predominantly Windows XP workstations and Windows 2003 servers. He says he loves “the ease of use, stability & security of my mac and have found ways over the years to make my experience of working in a windows environment much easier which I would like to share with others. I am also a strong believer in using open source software where possible and practical.”
