MoMovember is nigh!

Get your MoMostaches growing!

By the 3rd week of November (at Adelaide’s MoMo) we expect to see some top lip action happening!

https://www.movember.com/au/register/details/team_id/280122

 

So What Is Movember About?

• Movember is about
  raising funds and awareness for men’s health,
  specifically prostate cancer and male depression.
• Close to 3,300 men die of prostate cancer in Australia each year and one in eight men
  will experience depression in their lifetime. Many of these men do not seek help.
• Together we can raise funds for work to change those statistics. Together we can
  change the face of men’s health.
• You can either grow a moustache as a Mo Bro, or join as a Mo Sista and
  help to recruit other Mo growers and supporters to the team.

Mobile Monday Adelaide: 17 October 2011

MEGA

invites you to

Mobile Monday

in Adelaide

at Tomorrow Studio, 193 Wakefield Street, ADELAIDE

This month at Mobile Monday we have the UKTI (United Kingdom Trade & Investment) in to discuss their services and promote their $30k competition to establish part of your business in the UK;  and

OzRunways: Revolutionising how pilots navigate (and the business of selling $100 apps to thousands instead of $1 apps to millions.)

Most people who have seen images of the flight deck of an airliner or business jet, assume all light aircraft are equipped with a similar array of navigational instruments. That could not be farther from the truth; a compass is about as advanced as many aircraft get. Aviation GPS units can cost thousands and leave many users wanting in screen resolution and user friendliness. This is why we created OzRunways; using the iPad’s big screen to show official aviation maps and make navigation a breeze and creating an overnight fast-growth company in the process, proving that in a $1 app world, people are willing to pay good money for mobile software that provides them real value.

OzRunways was created by a trio of pilots with very different backgrounds: Neil Weste, retired WiFi pioneer and private helicopter pilot, Rowan Willson, RAAF Orion P3 Captain and Computer Science grad and Bas Scheffers, recreational pilot and proprietor of Formicary, an Adelaide (Tomorrow Studio) based developer of mobile apps and websites.

OzRunways have great plans for the future; entering different markets with OzRunways around the world as well as other aviation apps and related hardware. Formicary is currently busy creating apps for our clients while pursuing other opportunities for creating high-value Software as a Service web/mobile integrated applications.    http://www.ozrunways.com/

Mobile Monday Adelaide: 20th June

MEGA

invites you to

Mobile Monday

in Adelaide

Come and join us on Monday 20th June, 2011 from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at The Brunswick Hotel, 207 Gilbert St, Adelaide SA 5000.

Chronica, a comprehensive pain management application for the iOS platform, recently launched in April 2011 and the inventors of the application have an exciting story to share about its origin, development and path to commercialization.  Gianna Grbich and Chris Drabsch will discuss the process of how the app came to be – from developing the idea in the MEGA 2008 workshop, through to winning awards, media attention and grant offers, and working with local developers 2moro Mobile to craft the finished product for release on the App Store. They will also discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Chronica, and Derek Munneke from 2moro Mobile will appear to discuss the technical aspects behind building Chronica.

 

About Chris and Gianna:

Gianna and Chris’s relationship is both professional and personal – after meeting as students at UniSA & starting a relationship in 2003, Chris and Gianna made their career as graphic designers – they both established a design studio, Daydream Graphics, which they have operated as a full-time business since 2008. Gianna brings her skills as a photographer, illustrator and print designer to Daydream, while Chris brings his specialist skills in web design, typography and branding, which he gained from previous years of experience serving as Graphic Designer for m.Net Corporation.

Although Daydream gave Gianna and Chris the business experience and skills necessary to venture into Chronica, the application itself was born out of a personal need that Gianna has had for pain management. Gianna has herself lived with chronic pain for 5 years, and has struggled with inconsistent methods and techniques used to measure pain levels today. Her personal experience has helped to shape the application to ensure it suits the needs of 1 in 5 people living with chronic pain around the world, who can utilize Chronica to have a better understanding of their pain condition.

About Chronica:

Chronica is an award-winning pain management application for the iOS platform, allowing the user to record their pain levels, collect information about their medications, treatments, and other influences to their pain, and compare this data using a powerful charting system to determine their pain triggers and influences while sharing this information easily with others. The application is managed and developed in Adelaide, South Australia, and is currently retailing for iPhone and iPad devices via the App Store. More information about Chronica can be found at www.chronica.biz.
