[Andy Gaunt]

Seeing as Bob brought up the subject of PHP and FileMaker on the  
iPhone I thought this announcement would be appropriate.

> FMPug.com, the leading FileMaker-centric networking community  
> officially announced today it has secured a $100 discount with  
> FileMaker Advisor for the 2007 FileMaker Developer’s conference (Dev 
> Con) taking place August 5th -- 9th in Orlando, FL.
>
> “We are absolutely thrilled that FileMaker Advisor extended this dis 
> count to FMPug for a second year in a row,” said Andy Gaunt, Founder 
>  of FMPug.com. “DevCon is a fantastic resource for FileMaker users   
> and developers and it’s rewarding to be able to offer a bit of a fin 
> ancial incentive to members who might be debating if they should att 
> end this year or not. Based on last year’s feedback, we know the dis 
> count proved to be a great motivator and we believe the additional m 
> oney saved will swing more than a few new registrations this year as 
>  well.”
>
> In an effort to leverage against the large number of DevCon  
> attendees, FMPug coupled their announcement for the DevCon discount  
> with a new feature for those who own the new Apple iPhone. All  
> attendees, both members and non-members who have purchased the new  
> multi-faceted device now have the ability to see the entire  
> conference schedule, including all applicable details and a PDF of  
> the hotel conference wing’s floor plan directly on their iPhone (http://www.fmpug.com/devconschedu 
> le). FMPug went on to clarify that while the features were built spe 
> cifically for the iPhone interface, all may be viewed by other PDA a 
> nd/or web-enabled devices. An additional feature has been added as a 
>  member-based benefit to allow the scheduling and recording of indiv 
> idual conference sessions.
>
> “We thought it only appropriate, since FileMaker, Inc. being affilia 
> ted with Apple, to design a concept around the awesome capacity of t 
> he newly launched iPhone. Everyone attending DevCon now has the abil 
> ity to look-up and view the entire selection of conference schedules 
> , including the conference floor plan! We had to add something a lit 
> tle extra special for our members, they’ll have the ability to maint 
> ain their schedule for conference sessions – all through their iPhon 
> e. Registrations, overviews, lunches, and dinners will be available  
> at their finger tips without the need to dig through page after page 
>  of information or cut and paste applicable details to their respect 
> ive calendar program. Sure the details can be viewed on other device 
> s, but I can’t promise it will look as ‘cool’,” added Andy.
>
> FMPug fully expects the discount at DevCon & the new features via  
> iPhone to be well-received. Andy concluded:
>
> “We believe the discount and the new iPhone-based features are perfe 
> ct compliments to one another. Bottom line, we want our members to g 
> et the very most from their FileMaker experience. We believe keeping 
>  our members at DevCon on-time, on-track, and with a little more mon 
> ey in their pocket is a great way to do just that.”

> The FMPug DevCon discount is valid from July 6th through August 5th  
> & is available to all members of the FMPug community who have yet to  
> register for conference attendance. (Discount available to new
