Winnie Tong - Web dev polyglotte: Developer Events Archives

Winnie is a software engineer at a Silicon Valley start-up. She is a polyglot in human and computer languages. She has been an early adopter of the Microsoft .NET Framework, developing .NET web and Windows applications for the financial sector since its inception as a beta release in 2001. Winnie has previously bumbled about as a Java developer, trying to making Java Server Faces work for her ex-employer's next generation product. The weapon of her current employer's choice is PHP. "Web Dev Polyglotte" attempts to document the trials and tribulations that Winnie encounters from day to day. Winnie does not consider herself to be a zealot for any particular programming language or development platform. In an attempt to stay as platform-agnostic as possible, she also dabbles in Perl and Python in her spare time. Winnie holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo.

A lesson in event planning

I'm at the MySpace OpenSocial Dev Jam but I'm leaving in an hour even though the event is supposed to run from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM. All street parking in the area has a 2 hour limit, and all the paid lots in the area are closed.

Aside from the parking situation, who starts a developer event in the Bay Area at 9:00 AM on a Saturday?
