Hey everyone,
As we head towards Christmas and the end of 2011, I thought it might be timely to reflect on the past year. Our meetups have gone from strength to strength, regularly getting between 50 – 70 people to each meetup. That was in large part due to our very generous hosts who provided venues, food and beer. For some of the smaller companies this was a significant commitment and it’s been great to see their support for the community. Certainly without the support of all our hosts we’d still be being booted out of the RMIT library at 8pm, so a very big thank you goes out to:
Lookout Mobile
Thoughtworks
PlayUp x 2
REA x 2
JTribe
Deloitte
Intunity
Sensis
Itty Bitty Apps
We also had over 22 presenters contribute their valuable time to create and present some amazing world-class content. Thank you all for contributing your time and stepping up to help making Melbourne Cocoaheads one of the world’s leading communities for iOS and Mac developers.

This year we also started filming the presentations and making them available from the Melbourne Cocoaheads web site (http://www.melbournecocoaheads.com/). A big shout out goes to Oliver Jones for the time and effort he put in to editing and producing those videos.
Finally I’d like to thank all of you who came along to the meetups this year. I’m still blown away at how many new people I’ve met just this year who are now regular attendees and contributors to the community. It’s been great seeing you all each month and I’m really looking forward to seeing the community grow and prosper next year.
The next meetup will be in February, so stay tuned to the email list for news about our first event for 2012. In the mean time, have a great Christmas break with friends and family and I’ll see you all in the new year.
Cheers
Sean
