Google often hosts outside events/activities, and while my friend was willing to help facilitate an event, he was unable to find the proper channels. Yesterday, some new info came to light, and we may be able to arrange such an event.

But with RunRev's recent open source goal announcement, it occurred to me that this could also be an opportunity to provide a LiveCode introduction for folks who want more info, from developers who actually use the platform.  Google's Mountain View campus is centrally located in California's Silicon Valley, so it's a prime location for such an event.

(The latter is definitely not a requirement.)

I'd like to try to get a head count to provide to my friend in case Google wants some sense of bodies to accommodate. Even if you cannot make it within the next 2 weeks, please feel free to respond as we don't yet have any official approval, but may be able to arrange a later date.  In my experience, outside events always take place in the evening after work, so take that into consideration.
