Yesterday was the inaugural Facebook Developer Garage in London, held at T-Bar, and sponsored by Ankur Shah and the guys at Techlightenment.
It seems like the first event in London drew over 250 people, making it the largest Developer Garage in the world... though, next time I'm bringing a fog-horn... getting a crowd of 250 to quiet down and listen to the presentations is more difficult than I might have expected... (Yes, I was the guy that yelled "Shut the fuck up!" a couple of times.)
Despite some technical difficulties, the guys managed to get Dave Morin (who runs the developer program at Facebook) on video conference to speak to the audience and ask a few questions. It seems Dave's most frequent reply to most questions was "We don't really comment on what we're doing in the future."
The event featured presentations from a few local companies, including Qubox, .name, Mesh, and Techlightenment... Clearly there's a lot of Facebook app development going on, with many attendees developing apps, and others looking to hire developers to build apps.
Looking forward to the next event in September... and maybe even being able to hear the speakers this time :)
