The 8th Android developers gathering in the IDC Herzeliya
The Israeli Android Developer Association is proud to present the 8th event for Android developers.
Although it is not our first event, in many ways it is the first of its kind. It is the first time it takes place in the IDC, the first time we use meetup framework and most importantly, the first time we meet after receiving the GTUG brand stamp.This means bigger and better things for all of us, so stay tuned!
We're looking forward to seeing you all
This event is a joint venture of 4 organizations
- The Israeli Android Developer Association - focusing on two main facets, building a community that creates a common ground for networking with Android developers in Israel, and providing knowledge in the latest technologies through organizing lectures, events, labs, etc.
- The Cantina - an NPO that has set out to create and nurture open source groups and communities by organizing events that feature lectures and Hackathons
- The Herzeliya GTUG - a group that is sponsored and endorsed by Google in order to aid the communities that use their technology (Android, Chrome, HTML5, AppEngine, etc.)
- The IDC Herzeliya and especially its Media Lab that is the host of this specific event
