It's strange that I had to fly to the Netherlands and speak with some cool folks from Germany to learn about this, but the first MeeGo Conference is planned to occur in Dublin this November. Their call for papers includes talks targeting newcomers to the platform, and the event looks like it's going to be free... I wonder if I should take this as an invitation to give in and finally get myself a shiny, shiny N900.

EDIT (Aug 8th): Now with a shiny website!
