PreDevCamp
Today was the first preDevCamp ever, so I went. It was basically a bunch of people getting together to hang out and write stuff for their Palm Pre phones. It was organized by some random guy, and there were events in a zillion different cities, but Palm offered to host the Bay Area's hacker group, so it was at Palm HQ.
polpo and I basically spent the whole time trying to make an accelerometer controlled chess clock. We got it working very shortly afterwards - it's absurdly easy to do stuff on this phone - 100% of my sticking points were that I haven't ever written anything more complex than a mouseover in Javascript before. I'll post about the actual app once it's done, since I think there's some neat ideas in it, but right now it's in real-ugly-prototype mode, so I don't want to show it off quite yet :D
