app

At the meetup on 8th April 2008 Ian and John outlined an intention to alter the format/direction of the £5app meet. There was a certain amount of feedback and talk during the meet, but we clearly need to open out the discussion some more.

In general Ian and John would like to use the £5app as a way to help people to move their projects/£5apps forward and we want to steer the event towards that end. We have been considering making things more workshop based, but it appears that a lot of people like the existing "story-led" approach.

Items of interest mentioned at the meet included:

• Selling online
• Community
• Marketing
• System Administration
• Amazon EC2
• Google App Engine
• Pricing/Monetization
• Building Teams
• Mentoring
• Branding + PR
• Finding non-geek events to meet customers/users
• SEO, copy-writing etc
• Intellectual Property
• Funding/Grants
• Resource outside of Brighton
• Social betterment
• Case studies

John - I've basically just entered what we wrote on the whiteboard here. Feel free to amend the list and raise any other points. We'll probably use this as a basis for a real-world meeting of interested parties in the future.
