The energy was palpable at the kick off of the Android Alliance at National Mechanics (the local geek bar) on Tuesday.  We had a good mix of developers, testers, designers, recruiters, and companies. Several local meetup leaders attended and we’re talking about partnerships for future events!

I expected a decent turnout, but was stunned by the 50+ in attendance! I was also impressed by the female:male ratio, it was a much closer reflection to industry (approximately 20%) than other meetups I’ve attended.

We’re off to a great start and I’m looking forward to the next event!

Did you attend? Who’d you meet?

How often would you like meetups like this? What kind of events would you like to see in the future?
