Hi all!


Düsseldorf GTUG has been renamed to Google Developer Group Düsseldorf in short GDG Düsseldorf.


I think this is a good opportunity to point out what we are doing and whats behind the group.

The GDG Düsseldorf does not belong Google. The GDG Düsseldorf is, like any other GDG a community which means that YOU are the GDG Düsseldorf.


GDG Düsseldorf != Google

GDG Düsseldorf != Randy

GDG Düsseldorf == [“Resul”, “Toby”, “Nils”, “Vieh Anh”, “Dirk”, “Randy” …. YOU ]


The GDG Düsseldorf is supported by Google which means that we can request for Speakers, Knowledge and anything else we need to make our work to be a success. This also means that we have to be active and willing to be part of an active community.


How can you be an active member of the GDG Düsseldorf?

  • ask questions on our mailing list or our G+ page

  • answer on our mailing list or our G+ page

  • make suggestions on our mailing list or our G+ page

  • participate at our meetings

  • help organizing meetings or events

  • give talks about topics you think that others could find exciting

  • care for PR such as Anouncements on Xing, Twitter, G+, Mailinglists etc.

  • create Website

  • create Logos for events etc.


Please keep in mind that community means actions by its members and not perfection. In e.g. if you give a talk about something it doesn't have to be rocket science. Not even your English has to be perfect (as you can see ;-) )


When I look back to what we done this year I am happy to tell that we participate the Global Android Dev Camp 2012 and we having every month our regular meeting.


But we also missed a few things: Google I/O Extended, DevFest and V Android Hack


Why did we missed these events? Well till today the GDG Düsseldorf has been driven basically by one person: me … Which is not enough manpower to organize all this. That is why I am now asking for your help!


I am glad that we had several speakers from the community namely Nils, Marius, Resul, Toby! However there a few things more around the Group that have to be done as mentioned above.


The next meeting will be held on Thursday September 13th please read on here.



Regards

Randy
