First of all sorry for the missing post about MAX US keynote #2 but I was quite busy and there was already a lot of information on other blogs and on twitter.

Let’s start this first blog post from Milan. Peter Elst and me were lucky enough to be able to attend the Nokia OpenLab event on time : we had to run a bit from Malpensa airport, to the convention center to get our MAX badge, then we did a quick check-in at our hotel to finally reach Sophia’s Restaurant at 6.30pm. We didn’t really know what to expect from this event but it turned to be a really great idea :

teams of 2 needed to think about a “new” mobile application concept and present the idea to the others. Sounds pretty simple, no ? After all presentations, attendees needed to vote for their favorites 3 concepts and the best team will win a MacBook Pro and a CS4 Design Premium (for each teammate). There was several really great ideas unveiled during the evening, and at our own surprise, Peter and me won (thanks to Peter for putting the original idea on the paper) ! Our idea :

A Mobile Emergency Alert Service

I won’t give you more details at the moment on this concept: it’s something that I still need to discuss with Peter to see if we will try to make it something real or not. Anyway, I really want to thanks Nokia for organizing such event and it’s somehting that I really to see more often, even in the non mobile world. Pictures available here.

 
Singularity is a web conference covering a wide range topics including web standards, accessibility, web application development, Flash, Flex, and scalability.

It’s the first environmentally-friendly conference by saving on thousands of flights and the resulting carbon emissions : speakers and attendees interact with the conference locally at real-world gatherings called local conference hubs. If you’re not yet convinced, just have a look at this wonderful lineup of speakers.

Early bird tickets cost just $99 (inc. VAT). Buying a ticket gives you access to the three day conference, all local conference hubs, and to recorded sessions after the conference.

I will let you know about the Belgium local hub, but if you will attend, or want to help in setting up the hub or are Interested in sponsoring just let a comment below.

Peter Elst launched 2 weeks ago RIAJobs.org, a new job board targeted at Rich Internet Application developers. It’s a community initiative that aims to bring together interesting employment opportunities in the web 2.0 space (Open Source, Ajax, Adobe AIR, Flex, MS Silverlight…).

Posting a new job in any of the categories is free of charge. It also offers paid services like having your job post featured on the homepage ($20/month) or advertising in one or more of the categories ($50-$250/month). Please note that a minimum of 20% of all revenue will go to charity !

It’s already a success : after only 2 weeks, 39 job offers have been posted by companies like Cynergy or EffectiveUI.

So if you’re an HR Officer looking for a cutting-edge developer or a developer looking for a  change,  give a try to RIAJobs.org ! Read Peter Elst’s blog entry for his future plan on this project.
