Meeting Tuesday, September 21st 2010 - Startup Weekend Team Presentations

This month’s OJUG we are happy to announce is going to have the two ( possibly three )  teams from Startup Weekend which happened last weekend.  For those of you who are not familiar with Startup Weekend, it is where a group of people get together on a Friday night, gather around some ideas and then by Sunday evening they have to pitch those ideas and demo a working product in competition for a prize.
From this weekend we have two teams lined up:

Team Everpresent
Everpresent, which included people you know like Scott Hickey and Matt Heller built an application for tracking the events that happen in your children’s lives and creating an easy way to store and track that information.  The product consisted of two parts, the first is a website that runs on Google App Engine and the second is an Android app that syncs with the server and sends notes and photos to Google App Engine for storage.  So expect to hear some good content on Android, Google App Engine, and how to get them to talk to each other.

Team Call Spinner
Call Spinner is a really neat web based application that you don’t need the internet to use.  The best description is that it’s like ChatRoulette but for phones.  It’s a PHP/MySql app that make use of Twilio.  Twilio is a very cool could based phone and SMS service that literally lets you send and receive phone calls and text messages via a web service.  I’m very excited to see this presentation.

Keepum
The Twitter search system limits how far back in time it will return results for.  Keepum is a service that will allow you store and archive tweets for you and it manages and organizes them in a neat and intuitive way.  Keepum is a Grails application that makes use of the OAuth that Twitter recently standardized on.

Look forward to seeing you all there.
