I just added the BYU Web Startup Group to my comprehensive list of Utah Tech Groups.
From their website:
The Web Startup group was founded to bring together people interested in creating new sites and services online. Group members include web developers (programmers and designers), marketing and business-minded individuals, creative idea people, and others with technology related skills. The group meets regularly to discuss and make Web Startups come to life. If you are interested in making a difference online then join us!
Their next meeting will be this Thursday and will cover Android and “Jump Starting your Website”.
I also added one of the founders, Adam Chavez, to Utah’s Business Blog Aggregator and invited him to contribute his events to the Utah Tech Events Calendar. If you or anyone you know should be added to these Utah business community sites, please contact me.
BTW, there’s also a Utah Business Events Calendar which hasn’t caught on nearly as much. Let me know if you’d like to contribute. Maybe I’ll merge the two calendars in the future; we’ll see.
Anyway, checkout the Web Startup Group. I think they could end up being a really valuable resource to the Utah business and technology communities.

UVLUG will host Dave Heldenbrand’s presentation on IPv6 this Saturday.
From Answers.com:
“IPv4 supports 4.2 billion addresses, which is inadequate for giving even one address to every living person, much less support the burgeoning market for connective devices. IPv6 addresses this problem by supporting 340 undecillion addresses. For scale, this would allow an average of about 430 quintillion unique addresses per square inch of the Earth’s surface.”
With these kind of numbers numbers, I hope to be able to boast a static IP address for every bacterium in my stomach…
Anyway, it should be pretty cool. I hope to see you there.

DevUtah’s recent Geek Dinner was successful. The food was good but may have been a little too sparse for a guy who had missed lunch. It was good to meet some of the people who volunteered to help out though. We’ve got a lot to do, but I think we have the momentum to make things happen.
I was particularly happy to hear Stuart Jansen and others say that DevUtah needs a calendar for tech events in Utah. I’ve spent a lot of time in the past posting a myriad of user groups’ announcements to uvlug.org, but it can be really time consuming. Hopefully with DevUtah we’ll have an easy way for everyone to post events to a joint calendar so we can have more cross pollination between user groups, solo-nerds, and business folks.
Geek dinners are just one way that DevUtah is is trying to create a culture of collaboration in Utah. I think these events will be positive force for Utah business, especially in the tech sector. I hope everyone is making some good contacts, and I hope that some of those will be foundations for successful ventures in Utah.
