MoMovember – Join the Adelaide Team

The Inaugural

State of MOrigin

Pride is at stake as the order of the MoMo logos for the next 12 months will be dictated by the chapters that raises the most money!

This November, Australia’s Mobile Industry is doing MOvember!!

Each Movember we challenge men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The moustache is our ribbon, the means by which we raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer and depression in men programs. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, our commitment is to grow a moustache for 30 days. Funds are committed to our men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue: the national depression initiative and the Movember Foundation. Together, the three channels work to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world class programs in the fields of research, education, support, and awareness.

Help Adelaide maintain it’s position at the front of the Australian Mobile Monday list by joining the MoMovember Adelaide Team

Join as a MoBro (A guy who wants to grow a Mo for men’s health), or MoSista (A girl who loves the Mo and wants to support the cause; or if you are Mo-challenged); and get everyone you know to Donate to help raise vital funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. And if that is not enough, Samsung has donated a Samsung Wave the highest MoMovember individual fundraiser, and as a team our fund raising will dictate our place on the National MoMo website.

October 2010 – Dynamic Red present BodyGuardz; Increase ROI on your mobile devices (plus free give aways!)

MEGA invite you to Mobile Monday in Adelaide Come and join us on Monday 18th October, 2010 from 6pm to 8pm at The Brunswick Hotel, 207 Gilbert St, Adelaide SA 5000. Paul Mapp, managing director of Dynamic Red will present an award winning product that can increase the Return On Investment (ROI) for large organisations, government and educational institutions by protecting mobile devices and extending their lifetime. The product is called “BodyGuardz” and is a custom cut scratch-proof transparent clear protective skin that is custom designed to suit iPods, iPads, iPhones, mobile phones, notebooks, GPS devices and other electronic gadgets. The material can cover a screen or the entire device, front back & sides. It retains the look of the device while making it incredibly scratch resistant. The product won the iLounge iPhone and iPod product of the year competing against 1,500 other products and recently won the ZDNet mobile accessory of the year. Future plans for the product are to have it sold unbranded and unpackaged to companies with large fleets of mobile phones and for use in the government and education sector. The potential cost savings are huge due to the protection aspect where the life of devices can be extended and the end of life resale value is increased as the product can be removed and the device will appear as new. The material is so tough that it can withstand temperatures of -35C to 125C, salt spray, UV etc and is guaranteed for the lifetime of a product. It is currently being tested for use in the solar industry. Samples for Apple products will be given away on the night so we hope to see you there! In the picture below you can hardly tell that the product is on. If you look closely at the camera you can see how the product is cut around the hole. It should be a great evening so please come along and remember to bring your business cards.

September 2010 – The Serval Project: Enabling telecommunications, any where, any time

MEGA invite you to Mobile Monday in Adelaide Come and join us on Monday 20th September, 2010 from 6pm to 8pm at The Brunswick Hotel, 207 Gilbert St, Adelaide SA 5000. Dr. Paul Gardner-Stephen of shoe-phone fame will present his most recent work which has culminated in the creation of mobile telephones that can work without coverage, but let you keep your existing telephone number. Incredibly, it uses existing off-the-shelf handsets, and can be used to deploy a mobile telephone network in minutes using hundreds rather than millions of dollars of equipment. This revolutionary technology, developed and tested here in South Australia, has the potential to revolutionise emergency and disaster response the world over, as well as the provision of affordable telecommunications and internet access to the poorest and most vulnerable two billion of the world. The relevance of this technology to rural and remote Australia has been heightened by the recent federal election which promises more focus on exactly this kind of capability. Congratulations are also in order… Dr Paul recently appeared on the ABC’s New Inventors show, and managed to win the round he was in! Well done to Dr Paul and the Serval Project Team. www.servalproject.org/archives/606 For further information, visit servalproject.org It should be a great evening so please come along and remember to bring your business cards.

Some of the technical considerations covered will be: (WARNING: Use of extreme technical language may offend some viewers, but Dan promises not to bore you) Animated meshes and vertex blending between x number of bones Polygon count (with an overview of what is considered efficient use of polygons and also mention poly-stripping) Textures: size limits and tricks to keep texture usage to a minimum by using flat colours and tilable textures where possible (will show how to produce a tilable texture) Baked in ambient occlusion to give textures more depth using multiple UVW mapping channels (if supported) Brief overview of the Unity3D Engine which is the software we use when developing applications for iPhone (it also can publish to Android, Wii, Xbox, PS3, Web and of course PC). Considerations such as Draw Calls or Dynamic Lights both of which can heavily effect performance will also be discussed.
