Mobile Portland

Content Strategy for Mobile
Thursday, May 23rd, 6pm

Please note, the meeting is on a different day and time than normal. In addition, we expect high turnout for this event so we're asking people to register using EventBrite [[link]].

In a joint venture, the Portland Content Strategy Meetup, Mobile Portland and the UX Book Club PDX are excited to host Karen McGrane [[link]], author of Content Strategy for Mobile [[link]] for a "battle cry" talk on putting content first, especially in mobile development projects.

Pacific technology is putting on an event tomorrow with Rep. Walden focused on Portland’s mobile community. I know this is short notice, but I didn’t realize the event was an open event until today.

If you have the time to attend, this would be a good chance to represent Portland’s mobile interests. Rep. Walden is the Chairman of House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. That subcommittee deals with many telecommunications and mobile related issues.

Hi everyone,

We’re looking for someone who is crackerjack at JavaScript and the other building blocks of complex HTML5 apps—of course!—but who isn’t scared of putting things together on the back end or tackling other technical tasks needed to bring a web-based or hybrid native mobile application to bear.

thanks i will take a look.

Sounds good. The mid-May meeting would work considering the fourth Monday
this month (5/27) is on Memorial Day.

I have an android app that talks to a backend server to get Json responses.
Right now it does not cache any responses. I am creating a design for
minimizing the calls to backend by caching the response from the server.
i am still deciding between a HttpResponseCache Vs persisting the json data

Jason, no problem. Thanks for all the hard work on keeping Mobile Portland
running.
See you in May,

I’m sorry to say that we’re not having a Mobile Portland meeting this month. I wish I could say there was a good reason, but the simple fact is that Matt and I have been swamped and didn’t line up a speaker.

On the plus side, we’ve been working on a really great speaker for May. And if it works out, we’ll likely move the meeting to mid-Month to accommodate the speaker’s schedule so you won’t have to wait another full month for your Mobile Portland fix.

I'm doing a research project and I'm looking for your input.

What publications do you read to stay on top of what's happening in the
tech industry – magazines, web sites, blogs, people, etc.

Both from high-level business strategy / direction to how-to tech info.

What are your favorites?

Last night at the end of the Mobile Portland meeting, I was talking to a couple of male attendees about technical issues. As we were talking, a woman that I don’t know passed us and then left the building.

ok, sounds good

Come and see me when you get to Urban Airship. If you could show up a
little early, that would be helpful.

Matt,
I can help out with that. Let me know what I need to do.
