Introducing the new Cameroon Google Developers Groups Country Mentor

[cedric Atangana]

Hi GDGers,

                 Hope this message finds you well,

 ​                I would like to thank you all (Google and you guys) for your permanent support for our GDG activities in Cameroon, the Cameroon IT ecosystem have growth considerably from the beginning 3 years ago when I started the 1st active GDG community in my University in Douala with around 3 people, to now with 12 GDGs (+2 new GDG women +1 Africa IT Coomunity etc) with more than 2.000 members across the country and I'm very proud of have been the one who started this. 

                 

                 Today, lot of things are moving fast there and there is a new generation coming up with lot of energy, great and bright ideas to innovate and push things forward. Today, when I read comments on social networks about the impact that we (the worldwide GDG community) have in people's lifes around us, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry; One day, I read a post on my G+ timeline "GDG Cameroon, you changed my life...", it was a guy who attended one of our GDG events and who got "the job of his life" during that GDG event, changing his entire family's life... Another day, it was a young girl who got her Baccalaureate and who was lost in the choices that she had to make for her future University studies. She posted an email in our mailing list and people started giving advice... today, she is a good coder studying computer science and she really enjoy it.

                  I think now it's time to leave... I will keep the souvenir of these great moments that I spent with you guys, planning events, running behind sponsors, cleaning rooms for our events, coding, hacking all over the night eating pizzas and BH... Trying to attract more girls in our chapters ^_^ and inspire the others, having fun etc...  So, I decided to let the GDG Country Mentor role to someone else, not because I'm tired of it (I will keep being around and keep helping) but because I want to push my energy in another way to inspire, to change the world...

                  Now I have the pleasure to introduce you to +Isaac KAMGA, our new Cameroon GDG Mentor. He is a bright guy with a strong technical background and great GDG experiences to carry our GDG flag in Cameroon.

                   So, @Isaac, here we are, you can take my armband, it's not very easy you know, but I'm sure that you can make it because I think you have both the skills and the necessary experiences required for it and more simply because you deserve it. We have to learn how to give the armband in motherland, here we are, I give you mine; wishing you the best and "ORDERING" you to do 100 times more than me ! Let me remove this role from my signature now  and re-become a simple man :-)

                  I believe in the potential that we have in the GDG Family world wide, I believe in the potential that we have in Africa, now I'll just work in another way to keep inspiring... Another way to Change the world...

Thank you Google for what I learnt from you.

Best Regards
