There is a local competition brewing up here in Fresno. It’s a mobile and web app showcase where you have two months to write an application or at least polish the one you have and present it. There will be prizes like sponsorship, media coverage and things like that. I think this is a very good idea and just the right push for me to finally get off my ass and start working on my idea that’s been on hiatus forever.
So for now I am going to keep wraps on what my project is called or what it does, but I am going to blog my progress as much as possible. This goes from conception, adopting development methodologies, coding, and finally pushing the product and getting ready for testing.
Once the website is up is up I will post it here but this should be interesting!

robertschultz added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 5:35 amSebastian, I might need some design work or branding. Think you could help me out when that time comes?
mrcanton added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 6:45 amExcellent. Can't wait to let the games begin! One question… what is the judging criteria?
robertschultz added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 6:49 amIn the original meeting I attended, we threw around the idea of a few different categories like new applications vs existing ones, and within each different criteria that would be judged by business professionals based on the market need and things like that. I think tomorrow they are going to post some information so when they do I will re-post here. It's been quite a while so I forget a lot of what was discussed.
But I think this will be fun! I think there are a lot of developers in town this would be great for people to really shine.
mrcanton added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 7:02 amThanks for that! Sounds good to me. Yes, not will this be a great opportunity for local developers to shine, but it's a great chance for them to get to know each other and for them to get a little exposure.
robertschultz added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 7:04 amHave you seen our wiki we have, to try to link local devs together?

We're trying to compile the list there and keep it current, and they already had one meetup but I missed it and no one has organized another one since.
mrcanton added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 7:15 amI'll check it out now, thanks.
Sebastian added these pithy words on Feb 18 10 at 7:35 amYep, I am sure we can come up with something.
