preDevCamp » Big updates from preDevCamp
Key points:

Last week was a busy one! Lots of announcements and conversations about preDevCamp & Palm, between preDevCamp & Palm and within preDevCamp & Palm. It’s time to clear things up and talk about the future:

1. whurley and gio have stepped down from the organization team.
2. Lisa Brewster and Greg Stevenson have joined the main team,
3. A large number of cities have expressed concerns about the short notice for the preDevCamp date. To ensure that everybody is as ready as they can be ... we’ve selected August 8th as the date.

Palm are being very supportive and we’re working out the best ways for them to provide assistance to the numerous events. I’m confident that we’ll be seeing some material support coming our way soon.

Hmmm... seems like that's around the time the book comes out too. Maybe we'll actually have the full SDK by then? Wishful thinking, I know.

I'm still confused as to how exactly the whole thing is going to work. Don't we have to have an SDK available to really get things going? Without that how much can you do besides a meet and greet. But however it's going to work, I'm still interested in checking it out.

The SDK is available to select developers now, and they plan on rolling it out to a larger audience at some point.

Hopefully a LOT sooner than August. As much interest I have in webOS, it's just an OS. It needs apps in order to make it useful to the masses. That won't happen (in quantity) until the SDK is released.

Personally, I don't see what the holdup is. Obviously it's at a stable enough release point to produce apps (both by Palm and 3rd party developers), otherwise they couldn't launch.
