We recently started the
Google Technology User Groups program to help people get together and discuss Google developer
products at a technical level. One of the first groups formed is the Silicon Valley Google Technology User Group by Java
user group veterans Mike "Van" Riper and Kevin Nilson. The first SV-GTUG meetup took place on
Google's main campus in January to discuss the Google Web Toolkit with Googler Bob
Vawter. The SV-GTUG will be hosting its next meeting on February 6th, where Dick Wall from
Google will be presenting on Android.
Silicon
Valley is not the only home to new user groups: The Pune GTUG in India, started by Rohit
Ghatol, seeks to bring together some of India's vast developer audience to think creatively
about using developer APIs to explore what is possible beyond typical Google products.
We'll post again soon about how you can create your own Google Technology
User Group, and for more events in your area check out the Developer Events Calendar on Google Code.
