Mobile Monday Bangalore

Bangalore chapter of Mobile Monday got started with an informal gathering of 20 enthusiasts @ Aztec s/w. Albeit it is late enough to blog about it, better now than never. Of late I have been held up with so many things that there is hardly any time left for me to blog. Things will continue to stay the same till I get a broadband connection @ my room. Coming back to the post,

MobileMonday is a community of mobile professionals. The open community promotes the mobile industry and fosters cooperation and networking among industry people and their companies by providing opportunities for personal and virtual contacts. It originally started in Finland and since has expanded globally.

The first meeting basically was to get the Bangalore chapter started, inflow of funds, etc. The topics that were discussed ranged from Mobile TV and its implications to Emergence of Open Source Software for Mobiles. The discussion was lively and almost each one had something to say. MoMo is a wonderful platform for getting to know what’s hot in the mobile space and what’s gonna rock in near future.
