Game On!
For the November meetup we have Yahoo!Xtra coming to the party with a handy sponsorship and will also be flying in Jonathan LeBlanc from Yahoo HQ in Sunnyvale, USA.
Jonathan LeBlanc works with the partner integrations group in the Yahoo! Developer Network as a senior software engineer / technology evangelist. Focusing on partner relationships and training, as well as external developer integrations, Jonathan works with and promotes emerging technologies to aid in the adoption and utilization of new social development techniques. As a software engineer, Jonathan works extensively with social interaction development on the web, developing new methods for linking social networks to drive the ideal of an open web. Prior to Yahoo, Jonathan worked within both the media production and fantasy product development teams at CBSSports.com, where he developed on products such as the Emmy award winning march madness on demand video player. Born and raised in Canada, Jonathan graduated from Algonquin College with a degree in computer science and currently lives in Livermore, CA with his wife.
Jonathan will be here to talk about the Yahoo! Application Platform (YAP). He will also be talking about Yahoo Open Mail.
Grant Harvison M.D. of Frog Prints will also be talking about applications they have just built and launched for the NZ market using the new Yahoo! open mail apps platform.
IMPORTANT
This months meetup will be at Media Design School so please don't go to the wrong venue.
The correct date is Thursday, November 12th 2009 so look forwards to seeing you there. I have also secured a little bit more sponsorship cash so we should have a good supply of food and refreshments.

Rob+1 guestBoth talks were really interesting, it was interesting to hear about the business model that goes with the technology at Frogprints, and reassuring to hear that Yahoo and Google are not bitter enemies - at least not at the developer level.

Dave Broome+1 guestThat was the best Pizza Hut pizza I've ever had. I also enjoyed the FrogPrints story, that's some insight right there.

MihoI found Grant Harvison's talk very insightful and useful as he shared with a very frank account on what worked and what didn't when competing with the international market, when dealing with the various types of clients and incorporating new technology. Jonathan Le Blanc's talk was mostly too technical for me, but I appreciated how he tried to balance it out, and it was great to be introduced to some of the new features of yahoo.

John BarrBoth presenters were goood speakers. The difference in subject material made for a good evening's balance. I learnt some new things from each presentation. I thought they were both very good.
