XABLU HQ

Over the last year we have been organising our monthly MvvmCross hackathon. Besides the socialising part and the famously good food the main ‘goal’ has always been to attract new contributors to the open source project.

While this has been successful and indeed PR’s from regular visitors have been accepted upstream, we feel the need to bring this to the next level and make this meeting more accessible to new-comers that are using MvvmCross in their daily work, but not necessarily have the ambition to contribute to the open source project.

So if you want to sit down with other developers, ask questions and share insights on using MvvmCross than you’re more than welcome to join!
