Have you ever had issues on a specific platform and been unable to verify the problems because you don’t have the device? Wish you could just borrow a device for an hour so you can debug a minor issue? Well, we’re going to be creating a device library where you and fellow Android developers can add their devices to a device library.

Although it isn’t necessary to add your email address and twitter account, we do suggest that you have at least one so that other developers can get in contact with you if they need to test against your device.

You can add your device to the library by filling out this form

As you may already know IPv4 addresses are running out.  At this time it’s predicted that Asia/Pacific will run out sometime in the next 6 months; Europe and North America will soon follow.  The successor to IPv4, is IPv6 and will soon be required to access all of the internet.

I’d like to invite you, and your group, to the IPv6 Summit scheduled for April 29th, and held at the University of Ottawa.  The summit will serve as an introduction to IPv6 specific issues for people that setup, debug, and manage network infrastructure. We are planning a full day event with an intro/business-case stream, a technical stream, and a “demo” room where people can test their portable equipment’s IPv6 compatibility.

The conference is still open for speaker submissions and we’d welcome topics that may relate to IPv6 and your groups specialty.

More information can be found on our official website http://ipv6summit.ca (available over IPv6).

As you may or may not know, O’Reilly Labs has a beta program where books that aren’t fully ready for publication are available online for free from their site.

Also there is a promotion going on to save 50% off the price of the book – DDPAE.

It’s tough to keep on top of keeping everything up to date.  We’re looking for someone who’s interested in helping provide content relevant to Android development as well as for any community related updates.

If you are interested please get in contact with one of the organizers via email, twitter or during one of the meetings.
