JomSocial at Google DevFest

Posted by: azrul on Oct 29, 2008  

Tagged in: release , presentation

I was away yesterday attending Singapore Google DevFest. Aside from getting a misspelled t-shirt, we manage to get a rough overview of all Google developer tools and API. It does gives us some new idea on how we can make use of some Google services within our products.

I also took the opportunity to give a short talk about JomSocial in front of  Google engineers and to around 150 over participants there. Nothing fancy, just a quick overview of some of our features. 

It cause a little stir among those who knew Joomla. We get the typical questions such as, when will it be available, how different it is compared to some of our competitors.

Anyway, it was a fun day, and I am really sorry that those folks in Singapore get the first public presentation on JomSocial

 

 See JomSocial at the back ? :)

I hope to incorporate JomSocial for future trainings for NGOs. Please take note that NGOs are lack of resources, and hopefully this component is affordable. Great work, Azrul.

Man... I can't wait to see this. I'm even starting to plan a business around my next community if Jomsocial works good. CB was good but I'm sure Jomsocial will be better.

I hope maybe you're suggesting some integration between JomSocial and Google...maybe Google Apps For Your Domain??

Congratulations on your successful presentation. Does that mean we're getting close to a release of JomSocial? I have several projects I want to use this for, so I can say goodbye to Community Builder forever!

Seems like you had a good time, too bad I couldn't make it to see you present. JomSocial seems to be coming along nicely and appears poised to take the lead with social networking and Joomla. I'll definitely be covering it in a future episode of The Joomla Podcast
