OpenSocial Developer Garage - Coffee meet
Last Saturday we had second coffee meet of our OpenSocial Developer Garage. I thought I will be last as I reached 5 minutes late, but to my surprise I was the first to reach at venue. First half we spent on discussing scope of the application that we want to build at this conference through code lab. We finalized to create an application for India I care. Shardul explained us about the idea and Aparna was present from India I care.
Later on we discussed on Venue. I can’t disclose venue yet as we will announce this before Thursday. I am going to visit venue today to see actual halls and location :). Later discussion happened on sessions, speakers and sponsors. We also decided to charge application owners for presenting their application at “Application Showcase”. There will be a nominal charge and they will also get place at our site. We are going to contact few more companies who we think would like to sponsor this event. After all our aim is to give quality knowledge to all developers and that too Free of cost. Below points we concluded
i. There will be around 12 session at two prallel tracks.
ii. Application development will be done at Codelab. Others can see this code development on a projector. At the end of day, this application code will be shown and explained to all developers.
iii. Application showcase will give chance to application owners to advertise their application.
While coming back activities of past few days flashed in my memory. We had our first coffee meet last month. But there was no significant progress even up to Diwali vacations. After Diwali I mentioned concern at our forum that its just 1.5 month is remaining and still site is also not up. Sudeeenly everbody charged and took lot of efforts with their contribution. Cheers to all the organizers. In next 3 days site was up, all contents were formed, contact to Google was done ( thanks Rajdeep for accpeting our request). And today, just after 2 weeks we even finalized on Venue and structure of whole conference. A lot of work yet to do…..
