Everyone,

 

Welcome to SD-GTUG 2012. Some folks from Bsquare have generously agreed to come give a talk to our group about driver development for one of their platforms, the DragonBoard which is based on the Snapdragon processor (a significant percentage of Android devices run Snapdragons). In addition to that, they will be talking about test automation for Android applications, so the talk should be very interesting!

 

For some more information about the company, their website can be found here:

The folks at Cooley are hosting the event, which is the same location where the AppEngine talk was hosted.

 

Bsquare is also offering to provide food for a limited number of people, but I will need to confirm with Cooley that they are okay with us eating in their conference room.

 

Hope to see you there!

 

Best Regards,

David C. Sainte-Claire

Come join the organizers of the SD-GTUG for a social event to kick off the group after an extended hiatus.  The event will be very informal; a meet and greet where we can all introduce ourselves and put names to the faces that are registered on the meetup site and put together a list of topics that are the most relevant for our membership.  Following the event, there will be a lag of approximately 6 weeks before the first technical event in early to mid August.  This time is necessary to secure a facility to accommodate our meetings, sort out the topics that you indicated were the most relevant, and line up speakers and content to support them.  This event is your opportunity to let us know what topics you want to learn about, discuss, hack on.  Feedback from the event will be what we use to decide what technical sessions to line up, so show up and let us know!Details for the first event are as follows:Who: SD-GTUGWhere: Urge American Gastropub (16761 Bernardo Center Dr. San Diego, CA 92128).When: June 15, 2011 6:00-9:00PMWhat: Meet and greet.  Appetizers provided.  The restaurant has a large selection craft beer for sale (unfortunately, SD-GTUG cannot pick up the tab for alcohol)Ask: Drop in and introduce yourself, what technologies you work with.  Bring some ideas for tech talk / bootcamp topics that would be relevant to you.

 

The San Diego GTUG weekly hacking night is an informal co-working session for Google technology users to hack collaboratively, exchange information, brainstorm, etc. There are no formal presentations or structured agenda.

Members of the SD-GTUG group are particularly interested in App Engine andAndroid development, although product APIs like the YouTube API and the Google Calendar API, and initiatives like OpenSocial and HTML5 adoption are also discussed.
