Hello Everyone!

Yesterday we had a unique GLOWE meeting.
First of all, We gave away the Wii to our GLOWE contest winner.

Secondly we had a brainstorm about the GLOWE community and about motivation. We want the GLOWE community to be even more enthousiastic and motivated and because of this, we've decided that everyone should be able to have more input. An example could be that the community should organize the next meetings on their own. A first step in this direction is apointing a new moderator from within the GLOWE community. For his consistent additions to GLOWE and persistancy we asked Tom Claus to become the first new moderator on glowe.org. Congratulations Tom!
In the near future we hope to see the community take over even more and organize events for and by the GLOWE core members!

May the GLOWE surround you all!

Our next meeting will be held the 17th of november at the City Live offices in Hasselt, 18 o'clock till 21 o'clock.
Everyone who entered the GLOWE contest can show a bit of their work in a presentation and then we'll vote for the winner there and then!
We'll also be discussing some new stuff to GLOWE.
Hope to see you there !

-plans for October

Normally we'll be ordering out pizza but I heard some people would like a change in that. If you rather have chinese or something else let us know.

Yesterday we had our 4th GLOWE meeting.
During this meeting we gave a recap on building widgets and talked a bit about the future of the GLOWE community. There are quite a few things that will be happening this year.
We'll be having a monthly meeting from september on. every second monday of the month to be exact.
We showed a glimps on how you will be able to distribute your widgets in the near future with Gloweme.
there will also be several upcoming events from september on. More details on all of this soon!

check out yesterdays 3 powerpoint slides here, here and here.
EDIT: I almost forgot something very important. Tom gave a presentation of his pukkelpop widget. You can find his presentation right here.

Another important thing is that we're having a new contest.
Create a widget of your own choice. Multiple widgets can enter the contest.
From 1 september to 15 september you will be able to upload your widget to Gloweme. During this period Gloweme will be in closed beta. But offcourse You can already start building widgets. Then you will only need to upload them.
A winner will be chosen at the end of september and will be announced 29th of september.

The widgets will be judged on the following criteria:

• Coding Style and Complexity (server widgets, web services used, Services Created)


• Originality (RSS feeds aren't original :-) )


• Usefulness


• Usability


• Design


• File size


• Bandwidth usage

The grand prize is a Nintendo Wii console.

This tuesday evening at 18 o'clock we'll be having another GLOWE meeting.
During this summer meeting we'd like to give a recap on how to build a mobile widget with GLOWE.
Atleast one of our GLOWE members will be giving a short demo on his widget building experience.
And we might give you a first glimps on something new and exciting, something that will help you make your efforts count even more than before.

The GLOWE crew was at the mobilewebcamp saturday. Together with a few core GLOWErs we made the day a succes.
Several people came to attend davy's hands-on lab in widget building. Many of them where curious people from the webcamp.
The same day our website was publicly launched. Cool to see was that there we're nearly always people sitting at the table, messing around in the widget editor, and if you wanted to take a break you could attend another session. Must say that the widget building contest was a succes aswell. In the picture below you can see the winner Tom(holding his phone), the runner up Andy(with the goatie) and in the middle Erdem from the GLOWE crew. Tom left the webcamp with 11 movie tickets in his pocket and he's been uploading widgets like crazy. Well done to Andy aswell, he had his widget working but just missed the timeline in having a nice style.
Also thanks to everyone attanding our GLOWE sessions. We'll be having a GLOWE meeting again in the very near future. Hope we'll see you guys there again.

Global Language for Open Widget Environments... An XML file format for creating mobile widgets. Next to the specification there is also a community...

Recently 16 people gathered at CityLive for pizza and... GLOWE. The developers and IT students who showed up were very enthousiastic. We contacted them all ourselves and hope that together we can form the basis of a strong community. We started out with a hands-on lab given by Davy and then everyone successfully tried to create their own widget. We discovered that some more widgets have been created later, wich means they have understood our message. All pictures can be found here.
