Emil Jaranilla

Our group’s first meet up held on July 24, 2009 sponsored by the Orange and Bronze software lab. The day seems slothful and tired because before I get to Makati I have to survive the huge traffic at edsa, so I left Quezon City earlier than 5pm and expecting to arrive at Makati before 7pm. On my way to Makati, I was preparing myself (Mejo Kabado) for the reason that I’ll meet many developers there and I am going to present to Ma’am Aileen our GTUG PH logo that I created. Sir Calen and Ma’am Chel prepared a lot of food for 35 people who signed up for the meal but only few members attended the meet up I presume there be not as much of 20 GTUG members. I met Sir Jay, Godie, the speaker for the night, and the newly member Roy Javier who just signed up an hour before the meet up. Welcome Roy!

After dinner, Sir Godie Prepared for the presentation of the Google Application Engine Which is our topic for the night. He is really a good developer because he demonstrated how to create a simple facebook application using Eclipse I had difficulty understanding him maybe because of the microphones. Yeah it is hard to talk while typing your source code. “Sayang Hindi ko kasi nakunan ng picture when he was trying to speak on the microphone while typing using his two hands. Imagine? ” Anyway, the presentation took 2 hours and after the presentation, he shared some knowledge about the Google voice though I cannot share it here because it is exclusive for those who attended the meet up. Maybe for other members, who were not able to attend you can ask Sir Godie about it. The presentation ended past 10pm but it is ok, at least I learned something like creating simple facebook application. I expect that for the next meet up, all members are present. “Sayang naman kasi, GTUG PH pa naman ang may pinakamadaming members sa lahat ng GTUG worldwide. O diba!” As a part of GTUG PH, I am very thankful to Ma’am Chel and Sir Calen for preparing and sponsoring the GTUG PH meet up. Thank you guys!
