2009 Aug 4	Michigan GTUG Kickoff Meeting Android, OpenSocial more... I'm happy to say that the kick-off meeting of the brand new Michigan Google Technology User Group (GTUG) will be held on August 4th in Southfield at the offices of the Epitec Group. A map will be available on the MI-GTUG website. The meeting will be held from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. Food and beverages will be provided. The first meeting will consist of a series of lightning talks covering a variety of Google technologies. For those not familiar with a lightning talk, they are short presentations, usually limited to 10 to 15 minutes that provide an overview of a specific topic without necessarily diving into great detail. This format is perfect for our first meeting as it will allow us to expose the group to a cross-selection of the available Google technologies. Future meetings can provide deeper dives into specific technologies of interest.
