My favorite part
about Google I/O is the dozens of interesting conversations with developers -- getting a
first-hand look at the different things that they are doing with our technologies. That's the
spirit of the Google Technology User Groups -- regular meetups where local developers
can get together to network and discuss, demo, and hack on Google's many developer
offerings.
From lightning
talks in Mountain View, to App Engine hackathons in Tokyo, to lectures in Berlin,
the GTUGs are a great place to meet fellow developers and learn (or teach) something
new.
At Google I/O, there were many
folks eager to bring the spirit of the conference back to their hometowns by starting up GTUGs
of their own. Since the conference ended, our list of current GTUGs has grown to include this
'baby boomer' generation of chapters. The following are all new groups looking for members and
starting to set up their first events.
