February 2014 Events

In February 2014, our events were held in different schools near Manila.

We went to Philippine Agricultural Youth Leaders' Summit and gave a talk about "Applications for Agriculture in the Modern World." We've had a Thesis Ideation Seminar and a Dart Flight School event during the ICS Technology Expo of University of Santo Tomas on February 11 and 12, respectively. We also had our Dart Flight School Manila on February 15 at De La Salle University, Manila. In cooperation with PhilRobotics, we also talked about Android and Arduino at the Polytechnic University of The Philippines Annual ECE Conference (February 18). On February 22, we went to University of the Philippines -Los Baños for a GDG Campus Roadshow. We talked about Google Chrome, Google Maps API, Google Map Maker, YouTube API, and Google Programs for students.

Pre-Startup Weekend Workshop [Updated]

As part of our ongoing partnership with Startup Weekend, we are organizing a series of talks for you to prepare for the event.

We know that during a Startup Weekend event there isn't a lot of time to learn new things. You come in with the tools you have in your belt, and you do the best you can with those. But sometimes those tools aren't enough, which is why we're running this pre-Startup Weekend bootcamp.

For the Manila leg, we’ve prepared technical (Android, HTML5/ Chrome Apps/ Google App Engine) talks as well as non-technical (Pitching, Marketing, Monetization) talks to help prep you for the Weekend. We will then be off to Cebu to talk about Android, HTML5, Google App Engine, and Design. All GTUG/GDG members are invited, please use the registration links below.

In case you haven't see our last post, GTUG/GDG members get 20% discount on tickets! To request for the discount code, please send an email to gtugphilippines@gmail.com.

Lunch and snacks will be provided.

Chrome Extension and Android App

I had made an android app for the Google Technology User Group (GTUG) Philippines. It contains blog posts and the latest messages from our mailing list. There is also a tab for links to our online presence. To download the app, check it out in the Android Market or you can scan the QR code below:

Also, I have also made a Google Chrome Extension for the group. The initial version has been published last January. Now, it is in version 1.6 already. The extension is available in the Chrome Web Store. Users can get the latest blog posts, mailing list feeds and tweets. It also contains GTUGPH links.
