Three weeks ago, ten top Mac developers were invited to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL for an evening of conversation around a broad range of topics: Making a living writing for the Mac, software patents, competing with Apple, digital rights management (DRM), software activation, bugs, Ajax, unit testing, building communities, the x86 transition, and much much more. So who were those top developers? Have a look:
- Bob Frank: Author of log4cocoa
- Jason Harris: Author of ShapeShifter, MightyMouse, ThemePark and Chicken of the VNC (Unsanity & Geekspiff)
- Nicholas Jitkoff: Author of Quicksilver
- Paul Kafasis: Co-founder of Rogue Amoeba (Audio Hijack, Nicecast, Airfoil …)
- August Mueller: Author of VoodooPad, FlySketch and FlyGesture

- The Rosyna: Programmer for Unsanity (FontCard, Silk, Menu Master, CEE PEE YOU …)
- Wil Shipley: Maker of Delicious Library
- Brent Simmons: He runs Ranchero Software, known for NetNewsWire and MarsEdit
Can you ask for more? I don’t think so! The video (2.5 hours, 575 MB) of the conversation or just the audio (133 MB) can be downloaded over here. For more information about the invited developers, visit the main Evening at Adler page.
