McBarCamp, anyone?

So I had this crazy idea to host a BarCamp-style event in Scotland around Mac/iPhone development. A few bits and pieces clicked together, so I’ve put up a Google Docs survey to gather information about the level of interest in such an event.

• Mac/iPhone Dev Scotland Event Survey

To expand a little on the content of the form, the event would likely be in Greenock (Greenock is 30 minutes by train from Glasgow) or possibly Glasgow. There will be wifi. It would have to be after WWDC so that we can talk about the iPhone SDK without NDA paranoia. It might be one or two days depending on what people want. No spectators, only participants.

Let me know what you think. Feel free to comment or ask questions here, but please do go and complete the survey so that all the hard data is in one place.

timing bad but I’d love a wee trip away to Scotland for an event like this!

just being nosey as i live in Greenock and wondered what thsi was all about?

Oh yeah, I meant to put this in the form but hadn’t thought of it at the time; ideas for sessions—

Two on the desktop side: Spotlight, and packaging techniques [notably Leopard's new Installer.app features, for those building apps which can't easily be drag'n'dropped—or should the developer go the extra mile to make it possible to drag'n'drop them? Stub binaries which auto-deploy shared frameworks?]

On the iPhone side: integration and sync with desktop apps [distinctly post-NDA; what's possible, what's not? limited to OTA/WiFi? will .Mac get some leverage here perhaps?]
