The next Mini’app’les meeting is Tuesday, February 16th, the third Tuesday of the month, at the Hackfactory (3119 E. 26th Street Minneapolis, MN 55406). At 6:30 p.m., members of the board and other knowledgable people will be available if you have specific questions you would like answered. We will do our best to address your question and help you troubleshoot the issue.
After talking about some of the current news, we look at media streaming at 7:00 p.m.. There is of course iTunes and AppleTV, but there are other options that might fit your setup better. Several people have different solutions and will share them tomorrow. We will cover some tips and tricks that can make streaming media easier for you regardless of how you want to do it.
We look forward to seeing you there.
