Our guest post this week is written by Kristin of appp media, who ventures out into the world of app networking with two other moms from Munich. I’m already looking forward to more developers in other cities and countries stepping up to connect, as they did.
On July 5th “Munich-MWA” met for the first time for a “Coffee and Apps” session in the heart of Munich. All three were very exited as they had only been in contact through facebook and email and had never met before. (From left to right: Kora, Kinderapp – Irina, Katzapps – Kristin, appp media)

After getting a coffee to go the three developers sat on a park bench and started chatting away. Three hours passed in a second. There was a lot of trust and openess, in the spirit of mwa! Three moms, three developers, three completely different jobs before being a mom and developer – a lot of laughter and information in the air. The biggest problem that could not be solved was: How are we going to get our apps known to the users in the US? Preschool-Kitty , Kinderapp
Kora put into words what we all felt: “Great to meet you! Finally someone understands what I am talking about!”
So great to see the community growing & evolving. Those moms sure have some great products.
About exposure? well, this is the 1 billion $ Q..: get into relevant blogs & platforms, participate competitions, partner with a local distributors or go blow $20k in a blast campaign with Fiksu, Flurry, etc..

How inspiring! Paris peeps – when can we get together? Happy to host – Sarah
Great !! I really love this approach of gathering together… @Sarah : I would be happy to meet you in Paris as soon as my first app is launched (should be in November !)
I just moved to The Hague and would love to meet other mom developers in The Netherlands! Anyone around?
