MeeGo Conference 2010 Early Bird Events

As MeeGo Conference 2010 attendees filtered into the D4 hotels the weekend before the conference, a number of informal learning and collaboration sessions, called "Early Bird Events," got underway in the Ballroom at Ballsbridge Towers. Sessions included Qt overviews, Qt Creator & QML tutorials, a hands-on Linux Developer tools seminar, hackathons, and UX design discussions, among other topics. Quite a number of the almost one hundred participants had one and a half days of pure development immersion. Expectedly, several people created their own round tables scattered around the hotel. The atmosphere was one of excitement and fun as everyone connected with old friends and talked about new possibilities. It is because of events like this - those that happen 'outside' of the regular conference schedule - that innovations withing the development community happen.
