We’ve seen this happening with the iPhone (iPhoneDevCamp) and now Palm Pre is following the suit. Fans of the device, who are not officially affiliate with Palm, are organizing events for application developers called preDevCamp. I said “events” as in plural, meaning there will be not one but few events organized to support Pre software developers, whether they want to rely on Mojo SDK or traditional web standards.
According to one of the organizers, the event is currently being planned in over 60 cities around the world. It all starts one week after the Pre U.S. release and registrations are broken down by city.
Attendees will include mobile developers, web developers, UI designers, and testers — all working together over the weekend. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts, and all attendees should be prepared to work on a development project during the event whether they want to create new or migrate existing apps to the new Palm’s platform. Finally, testers are there to help remove bugs and optimize apps to run smoother.
Interested? preDevCamp has the official website where you can get more details. Alternatively, the organizers are on twitter.com at @whurley, @giovanni, and @dancrumb.
