SD-GTUGers,
We're having our first event next week! See the details below, and make sure to sign up at the official SD-GTUG meetup site. Hope to see you there!
Come join the organizers of the SD-GTUG for a social event to kick off the group after an extended hiatus. The event will be very informal; a meet and greet where we can all introduce ourselves and put names to the faces that are registered on the meetup site and put together a list of topics that are the most relevant for our membership. Following the event, there will be a lag of approximately 6 weeks before the first technical event in early to mid August. This time is necessary to secure a facility to accommodate our meetings, sort out the topics that you indicated were the most relevant, and line up speakers and content to support them.
Details for the first event are as follows:
Who: SD-GTUG
Where: Urge American Gastropub (16761 Bernardo Center Dr. San Diego, CA 92128)
When: June 15, 2011 6:00-9:00PM
What: Meet and greet. Appetizers provided. The restaurant has a large selection craft beer for sale (unfortunately, SD-GTUG cannot pick up the tab for alcohol)
Ask: Drop in and introduce yourself, what technologies you work with. Bring some ideas for tech talk / bootcamp topics that would be relevant to you.
Looking forward to meeting all of you!

am looking forward to a more active San Diego GTUG, because I would like to be to network with other technologists who are interested in moving Android & App Engine forward. I also find that I learn about other Google Technologies via osmosis when I hear tech talks from others. I am an Android developer focusing on sensors and communications. I am also interested in Wireless health and health applications on tablets.

Welcome
SD-GTUGers,
In this, the first of several inaugural posts to the new SD-GTUG blog, I would like to introduce myself and give a brief overview of some of the things to come in the near future. I am a software engineer at Sony, and have been working on server-side webapps-specifically in the eCommerce and marketing space-for the past five years. The majority of my professional experience is J2EE and Ruby on Rails, but my extracurricular passion these last few years has been mobile applications; specifically native Android clients. About a month ago, I took over as manager for our chapter of GTUG, and have been meeting with the other organizers to begin planning some events that I hope you will all attend.
Enough about me. I am certain that if you made it this far into the post, it's because you want to know when the next event will take place. There is a social event that we are planning to host in Rancho Bernardo on June 15th at a restaurant called Urge. We are still hammering out the final details, but check back here in the next few days (or on the official SD-GTUG Meetup page) for more details. Then, in August, we are planning to start more regular meetings that are more technical in nature; bootcamps, tech talks, hackathons, etc. The reason for the gap between the social event and the start of the tech events is that we are working on the logistics of lining up a space that can accommodate us on a regular basis, as well planning out relevant topics and peer-pressuring people into speaking about them. Stay tuned for details on all of these events.
I am excited to be helping to drive this group. I use the term drive loosely; being new to managing this group, I rely very heavily on the other organizers for their input. Google has a lot of technology for us to explore, and San Diego has a wealth of talented developers that I am looking forward to meeting. If we can also drink some good beer along the way, it will be a fun journey!
Regards,
David C. Sainte-Claire
