Smile WWDC Party 2011

Thank you so much to Greg, Jean and Philip for inviting me to the Smile WWDC Party. It was great fun.

WWDC has changed a lot since introduction of iPhone and the real uptake in mobile computing. The conference changes from Mac, Server and QuickTime focused to, now, mainly iOS. Mac OS X has become something, I feel, tagging along its mobile counterpart.

The party tonight is different. It is purely a Mac indie party. I met and chatted with loads of people. There were people, for sure, from Smile Software, OmniGroup, Bonix and some indie developers.

It’s great fun chatting with Philip, Ken, Greg and other great developers. Topics like the upcoming changes in Lion, Mac App Store strategy, demo of their apps, dev scenes in Munich, etc. That’s the kind of Mac indie conversation I long for.

They truly reminded me about authenticity and dedication.
