App Expo
Idea
To bring together a collection of quality applications to demonstrate to people.
Applications do not have to be created by the presenter himself; they may be commercial, open source or otherwise as long as credit is given appropriately. Applications (or even entire packages) may also be in the form of a web application as opposed to a traditional desktop/server application.
Presenters may be students or faculty of UMKC, however, if someone outside of UMKC is interested in participating, this will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
There is currently no schedule or venue in mind.
