Here’s a resource round up of materials to review, and of course, get other people to view!

• 26 Minute Live Demo of Palm Pre (Brought to you by PreCommunity.com)
• First Chapter of “Palm® webOS” from O’Reilly Media (First chapter available online from Palm)
• “Palm® webOS” Rough Cuts Version (Read the book as it is written)
• webOSHelp.net, a site aimed at provided tutorials for webOS
• O’Reilly’s Palm webOS Webcast
• Matt Colyer’s Skeleton Application (Really Rough Draft)
• PreCentral.net (News, rumors, and everything Prē)

I laid out some flyers on the tables in the Commons on campus and all but two got picked up. Not too bad.

I doubled checked and am allowed use the Palm Pre photos at palm.com/meetpre on my flyers. Thank you Palm!

The UMBC Linux Users Group hosts fairly regular discussion sessions and talks. I’m signed up for February’s session to discuss and promote preDevCamp, the Palm Pre, and webOS. I will be presenting the architecture and concepts behind webOS on the Palm Pre. If I make a proper presentation, I’ll put it on SlideShare.

I’ve also placed out a flyer in a few places. If you want a copy of my .doc file to use or to start your flyer from, email me and I’ll send you a copy.

Alright, my fellow Baltimore developers. I’m looking for venue suggestions. I am looking around right now but some of you probably know Baltimore better than I do.

Some criteria area are:

• Plenty of Power Outlets – we’ll need to set up some extension cords and power strips
• Chairs and Tables – if the place has them to borrow the would be best
• Easy to Get To – right off the light rail or beltway
• Allow Food in Venue – offer affordable catering or allow us to cater
• Will Allow Signage – signage is good for many reason… like finding the place

When you give a suggestion, please provide a their name, general location, phone number, and their website if they have one.

I’ve been thinking alot about how we can promote the preDevCamp and the Pre in general. One the issues I have is remembering  to bookmark the mobile versions of websites.

So a tool for general smartphone evangelizing is a directory of mobile websites. You can say, Hey you have a smartphone and you can [ read news, check your travel plans, view photos ] on mobile websites.

So I’ve started such a directory at http://prelink.mobi … take a look and let me know if you know of any other good sites that should be on the list.

I also posted this at my personal blog at alicecarback.com

Get on the preDevCamp forums and share your ideas for applications and sessions! You too, Baltimore!

We’ve got several attendees signed up already! Not bad for for the first week. Make sure you let other developers and Palm fans know preDevCamp.

Oh and if you’re on Faebook, join the preDevCamp Baltimore group.

I can’t wait to meet you all!

Here’s a local group on Facebook for preDevCamp Baltimore.

Keep in touch!

Hey, I’m Alice. I’m long-time Palm user and am psyched about the Pre. I’ll be helping to organizing a preDevCamp event for the Baltimore area. Drop me a line if you’re interested! @acarback
