We'll open at 6:30 for a social and networking time.

At 7pm, Chi-Hua Chien of KPCB will talk about the iFund, KPCB's $100 million fund for investing in new iPhone applications. We'll be looking for insight and ideas about the kinds of projects KPCB wants to fund and have a time for open Q&A with Chi-Hua. Then we'll take a break to spend some time mixing.

At 8pm we'll present a brief tutorial on Objective-C, the language that's used to build iPhone apps, followed by a technical Q&A.

We'll adjourn and be out by 9pm.

    Does anyone have a copy of Chi-Hua's presentation or notes from it that they are willing to share?

    It was great to meet you all last night. Jordan and I enjoyed being a part of your event -- thank you for inviting us to participate. If you're interested in learning more about iFund opportunities, please check out our web site at www.kpcb.com/ifund. There you'll find a submission site for iFund proposals. Also, if you'd like to work with iFund companies as discussed, please email [masked]. Cheers, CH

    If thereâ??s anyone working on an app whoâ??d be interested in a charity/marketing combination, please get in touch with me! Iâ??ll try to mention it at the Meetup if there are a few minutes free.

    We have a half-dozen signups for our March dinner meeting; we're planning to hold it on Monday 3/31 at 7pm in Palo Alto. This will be a very informal time, mainly for networking among developers. If you'd like to join us, email me for more details.

    Thanks for organizing this. I probably won't be able to make the pre-talk dinners but I am excited about the first meeting. I am a Ruby and Audio App developer looking forward to developing on the iPhone; I also organize the Bay Area Computer Music Technology Meetup: http://electronicmusic.meet...

    Since schedule constraints forced our meeting so far out in the future, I'd like to also organize a dinner in Palo Alto for either next Monday 3/24 or the following one, 3/31. Space will be limited, so contact me directly to confirm.
