5. MJGI51: due to 3+ members RSVPing YES to accidentally-continued listing OCAndroid Beginner-to-Intermediate Developers' Training, moved up "M0TIDD: Activities" so they will see it's here; in particular, while still keeping MHQ8ST top, dropped "MFOITP: Recent & Upcoming Occurrences and Historic Changes" towards the end especially given these details as meeting topic, if significant, will be put into the meeting title.
6. MJGO1A: "MHQ8ST: Want more folks attending".. entry moved to here
7. MJGNJG: RE "M0TIDD: Activities", lots of improvements, including new sections.. entry moved to here.

12. MJI78C: Reluctantly "MHQ8ST: Want more folks attending" move from item 1 to just before "MGEM3E" (near end) as this, while very important to every occurrence and what notably members are having trouble getting, is still generic indeed covering events all over so not the info the reader is 1st expecting. Also added pic from main article.
13. MJIBDZ: .. pst2013.03.11Mon1040. entry moved to under MKE4VN.
14. MJIH3R: M825VG: added "or pre-announced presenter", and RE related M8261W, move it up in the time line where it belongs & extend; added MJIHZD; misc improvements; pst2013.03.11Mon1317.

Happy easter everybody, and sorry for the delayed response. I think training should start a little earlier and if it could be an hour and a half instead of an hour that would be great. Either way it was a protective meetup and I learned a couple of basic things. If maybe the next meet up could be a little bit more organized and a bit faster of a start that would be awesome. Either way it was a fun experience and I hope to see everybody soon.

Five months after its release, Android 4.2 known like 4.1+ as Jelly Bean) is still not widely used by most manufacturers. In his Android Power Blog on ComputerWorld, (http://blogs.computerworld.com/... ), JR Raphael predicts that some manufacturers may skip this upgrade altogether, waiting for Google's next Android release, possibly in May at Google's big I/O conference, and possibly to be called Key Lime Pie.

Here's the link to the Samsung site where they show all of their cell phones: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobil.... First select your carrier and they see what there offerings are. I don't believe anyone is offering the Galaxy 4S just yet, but rumors are that Verizon will be offering something within the next couple of months.

KEY STUFF TO BRING. Quoting from our agenda http://1.JotHere.com/967#M3BB40 as this cannot be said enough, quote:
M3BB40: Key stuff to bring:
MJGNGL:Bring your devices for accessing Meetup & portable Internet if you have it.
M6VJ4I:DEFINITELY BRING YOUR LAPTOP –VERY IMPORTANT, including for posting questions & announcements, RSVPing for & suggesting future events & topics, and web research.
M6VJ2P:Bring ALL DEVICES you may want to work on and/or have questions about..
M0SVG5:If programming or learning-to, BRING YOUR HARDWARE & SOFTWARE for coding/developing (your laptop+mobile devices+hookup cables)
M0TCJ6: If you don’t yet have the software (as Android IDE) installed, that’s fine, as we provide it and help you install it during our meeting (at least in OCAndroid).

*This is covered in http://1.JotHere.com/3975#MJI5Q... and surrounding, but in particular/addition:
**We always appreciate ur letting us know ur RSVP change.
**and as any healthy group always likes to know,&esp when you were a YES before,
What's keeping from coming? -And how much will it prevent you from future times? -as do you need a carpool or are times/venue a bad? Or you don't like the program? Or something bother you? Or what? -&we'll work to solve it 4u if we possibly can
***If it's controversial,email a event ldr; otherwise:
***If u've already make cmts on the event about ur attendance, just click "Reply" on that cmt thread,otherwise create a new thread
****Meetup's RSVP-comments incorrectly always create a new thread,so if u already hv a thread,Reply to that then separately change ur YES/NO.
**&as u were a YES before, then what about our next ones as upcoming http://meetu.ps/D89R6 and on our home page ?-just RSVP there.Thx

Due to the proven success of this new general event series, I am merging into this listing of it the RSVP YESes from our prior sub-event series where those series were subsumed by this more general series but which I still left them repeating at a very slow rate on our calendar in case they might need to be resumed (as once all instances of an event series have past, Meetup incorrectly does not allow the series ever be resumed, just recreated) but as it's now clear that officially canceling them is the best thing due the anticipated & now demonstrated greater success of this series, so I'm now canceling them with referrals to this thread for the explanation. I will Reply to this thread soon with the exact detail for each.

  cmt1of2. I now just canceled the series of its next occurrence "OCAndroid Beginner-to-Intermediate Developers' Training 10+" currently scheduled 2013.03.18Mon1900

  **the original's spurious duplicate, of http://meetup.com/OCA...
  *which was "Repeating on the third Mon of every 12 months" (very slowly as this thread's 1st comment explains)
  *and so have copied to here the 3 non-auto YES RSVPs of these:
  **From the 1st listing, this 1:
  *** http://meetup.com/OCA... Mandy He

(LTBKIT=Welcome!, Android Developers, Users, & Entrepreneurs
of the US.California.SoCal.Orange County area!

Since 2009, we are Your oldest & largest professional community group
and we are Here to Serve You!

MJZ5CB: quick intros
1. (LTBKK3=Find and join like-minded local developers, designers, & users meeting & succeeding in Android!
  Get your problems solved, put on presentations, help others, find & offer jobs, and team up on projects.
  Just join and RSVP & come to our meetings, share knowledge, and help everyone grow & succeed in Android!))
2. (LTDOG6=your place to network & make tech buds!)
3. (LTBL8S=Mostly small-group meetings where attendees really get to know one another, not just some presentation where you only really get to know the presenter & the organizer.)
4. M3BE26: OCAndroid is Orange County's largest & oldest Android community group; and as that would suggest,
  1. M3BEED: Members are Android software & hardware developers, entrepreneurs, users, and managers, at ALL skill levels, in-or-by-or-visiting Orange County, California, who have been hand-picked (meeting simple basic good standards as having a pic showing who they are and respectfully following instructions; but on Meetup, that screens out a lot).
5. M3BE9L: The Android OS is the most popular mobile operating system, surpassing even Apple (their iOS as on iPhone & iPad); a huge & increasing variety of hardware runs it, indeed typically includes it standard, and is typically the least expensive (compared to hardware running other mobile OSes) firstly because Android is open source; hardware running it includes mobile computers (including smartphones ("Android had a worldwide smartphone market share of 75% during the third quarter of 2012,[19]") & tablets), in PCs/thin computers/media players and video game consoles as Ouya and, embedded systems (as in high-end printers as by our member James Jung and even in airplane seat entertainment systems as by Panasonic Avionics right here in Lake Forest), plus more!
(LC78Q2=2010~-, Members are hand-picked, especially on following basic directions & respecting group rules, including:
1. (LTECO0=With each other (and ideally everyone), members should (communicate foremost by appropriate posting)LRBX9W and avoid private-messages & calls when possible to avoid. For instance,
  (LTED3B=News & info about venues is posted on the venue's thread so all can see, benefit, & reply.)
  (LTED7B=For jobs (recruiters especially, take note!), one (posts the need as a thread in the forum of Jobs Offered & Wanted) and (at least for the reply, encourages reply posts there rather than privately contacting back); the forum's also private so other employers can't see.)
  (LTECMG=No posting direct contacts (as phone #s & emails) except for carpooling & finding-at-a-group-event.))
2. MJ6D5O: Membership requires approval, including:
  1. MJD8EG: Answer all your profile Qs fully & accurately else you will not be admitted. Including:
    1. MJD8WF: it's much faster & easier for everyone for you to do it right rather than do it over. Including apps that don't get it right the first time get 2nd priority as for those then we must stop & explain what all to fix and review again before we approve.
    2. MJZ9AD: Notice question MFTRef is 2 sub-questions which then both need full & accurate answers.
      1. MJZ9JF: Answer in via doing quote:
        (1) ...
        (2) ...
      2. MJZ9K3: Some typical good answers for each part include:
        
        MJZ9KS: "(1) http://www.meetup.com/find/?keywords=Android&&country=us&zip=92630"
        
        MJZ9L6: "(2) See Intro" (where that gives this answer)
        
        MJZBAA: "(2)I liked Android ..so got my 1st Android(&4a mere $25/mo w/unlimited 3G data+sms:Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept smartphone -deal!) so then searched for nearby Meetup group to learn about Android this was by far the the largest one"
    3. (LC78QJ=Notice question MFWPic says for your group profile's main pic, have a close-up photo of you which clearly & accurately identifies you else there give reason for a waiver.)
  2. MJD8GX: Allow time for processing; we review new & fixed applications ~1x/week.

MDMSQY: Moreover, like a Better Business Bureau member... Our group is a proud follower & endorser of Universal Rules & Guidelines for Meetup.com L2PG1L! –a free eBook which includes:
1. MJ78ND: Want more folks attending, plus great events totally suiting you? Then MAKE IT HAPPEN! -click here! including:
2. MJ9IGT: Core rule for everyone: Follow "Due-process" procedures for every possibly negative act (including quitting, deleting, removing, blocking, banning --even on your own stuff if that could affect others) to insure fairness, construction rather than destruction, and minimize losses & negatives -especially on Meetup where, like a gun placed in hands where it often doesn't belong, Meetup presently enables any member to typically do notable harm to accomplishments, reputation, & esteem --via typically freely offering users the ability to do these negative acts in couple of mouse clicks and without any safety mechanisms to prevent them (as requiring warnings, following published declared rules, authorization, delay periods, and explanation); so here's the missing procedures for everyone to follow before pulling any trigger.
3. LTDSHF: a great intro to Meetup. New to Meetup.com? Welcome to Meetup, too! – the most-powerful major website to find & host in-person groups. If you want, simply use your Facebook to login. Meetup provides you 92,000 in-person local groups: all topics, worldwide, & mostly for free.
MJCNH9: Additional rules & guidelines:
1. (LC78QC=Completely answer all your profile questions.)
2. (LC78RR=To ideally share your Interests & Groups (to maintain privacy, use just your first name or a handle for your profile name or have multiple profiles (as one for personal and one for business)).)
3. (LC78QV=RSVP for at least 2 events (your group title will show your RSVP count).)
4. (LC78R6=To answer the organizer's private Qs when you RSVP (this info is private: only event hosts can see your answers).)
5. (LTE8FA=If your involvement with our group helps you get paid work or fill a paid position, you must let the head of our group know within a week.
  (LTFJ7P=This group is a free service to the general public and has led many people to find jobs & fill positions; but, per this thread, facilitating all this (finding jobs & good people, and training & meetings & making-connections) and running this group takes hard work and we want & need credit where it's due.))
6. (LTUCAQ=Please comment! Your constructive feedback, posts especially, is what makes us happen!
MJ78ZQ: Non-members, we encourage you to apply-to-join else reach us via our "Contact" link.
1. (LTUJ5S=Non-members, please use the Contact us link.))
