GDG Busitema was incubated on the 19th of February 2013, and it's based in Busitema University in Uganda. The core developers of this GDG are computer Engineering Students.
One of the reasons this GDG was formed was to motivate more students to develop using Google Technologies like Android, Chrome, and tools like App Engine and other. Most developers liked to develop for Mobile and the web. So as Organisers we arranged a few code labs for Android.
We have worked closely with the developers and when an opportunity of the Africa Android Challenge came up, 7 Android Apps were submitted for the challenge from GDG Busitema. I think we deserve around of applause for that.
We have also done some serious collaborations with GDGs around us, with GDG Mbale we attended the DevFestW and the #aac Barcamp. We are grateful to the team in Mbale lead by +Nsubuga Hassan for the support. We are also working on something with GDG Makerere you will here about it soon.
We have had some other events like a Mapping Conference and the recent #io13 extended event that was done through the night and was a great experience.
We have had a few challenges as organiser and a group but we are grateful to the Google Team in Uganda and Africa who closely work with us.
Special thanks to +Van Riper , +Adriana , +Daniel Franc and +Max Bonbhel for the great work for our GDGs.
GDG Busitema 3 months a growing stronger
