A meet-up for programmers, web developers and designers to discuss and showcase their "£5 apps" - lightweight software created by one or two people who take a simple idea and run with it.
The discussion will range from technical (what tools/languages were used during development) to business (building communities, spreading the word, costs and rewards).
For the first talk Aleks Krotoski will be talking about Spaceship (http://www.toastkid.com/Spaceship.html) a "text adventure built by the collective hivemind of The Guardian gamesblog's community".
Then we shall have several demos (along the lines of previous DemoCamps), but with a gaming theme. If you've got a game (or something game-like) you've built that you'd like to demo and talk about for 5-10 minutes mail us (demo AT fivepoundapp DOT com).
Confirmed so far:
Aleks' main talk followed by 10 min slots:
LIghtsabers using bluetooth+accelerometers demo via Lastminute Labs
iPhone 3d game demo+background talk
Flash snow in 3d+gaming fun
2 other short talks possibly in the works, we've still room for suggestions if you've got something to show off?
Location is The Werks, we're just sorting out sponsorship so nice beer+food will be available. Free as usual.
Ian.
