This geek was at Google DevFest Manila 2011!
Yes, this geek was at Google DevFest Manila 2011. I flew to Manila last Sunday to attend the meetup of geeks last Monday, September 19, 2011 at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Conference Center in Makati City.
This is my third year attending DevFest, but now I am a volunteer which was assigned to help at the registration table. With me were my fellow GTUG Philippines members from Manila.
The event proper started a bit late just to accommodate all participants coming in; we have lots of walk-in too!
Christine Songco-Lau, SE Asia Lead for Google Developer Relations, started the program with a short keynote and followed by a couple of morning talks by Ankur Kotwal for Android Market for Developers ) and Bleeding Edge HTML5 by Eric Bidelman. Both topics were really insightful and interesting. Ankur focused on how to maximize the use of the Android Market features for Developers while Eric showed cool stuff with HTML5. Really enjoy his demo. Read more…
GTUG Philippines, Zamboanga Chapter
The Google Technology User Groups (GTUGs) Philippines is now here in Zamboanga City. Earlier today, Ms. Aileen Apolo (Google Philippines Representative) sent me a direct twit and said that I should start a local chapter of the GTUG Philippines. I am already a member of the group since it started last month. The group was officially listed in the official GTUG directory and already did some meet-ups and webinars. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend because I’m in Zamboanga. But I did attend two of Google’s event already: Google + Globe Developers Workshop and the Google DevFest Manila last year.
