I’m pleased to announce Betavine (the open community and mobile development hub), will be sponsoring the dinner on the Saturday night.

We are hoping Betavine will be running a workshop session - more on that later…

In the meantime, here’s the Betavine story:

Betavine is an open community & resource website, whose mission is to support the developer community in stimulating ideas, developing, testing and launching great new applications for mobile and Internet communications.

We are a Vodafone Group R&D Lab, “…a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific research, experiments, and measurement may be performed…” 1 but not in a stuffy old building – the Betavine lab is an open online community platform for everyone, pros & newbies alike.

Everyone is welcome to register as a member, download and play with any application, contribute to discussion threads and create or comment on blog entries. As a developer you can upload your own applications, showcase your work and get useful feedback from other members. We recently launched a pilot with Vodafone Spain, which is gaining a direct-to-market audience of 16 million users for all applications on betavine.mobi, the mobile version of our website. Students should keep an eye peeled for great competitions and other opportunities.

We want to add tangible value to the application development process wherever we can - so tell us if you think of something we can add or improve.

After all, we’re in beta too!
