Countdown to I/O: Taking the magic global with I/O Extended

Google I/O 2012 is approaching, and Nils Hitze, the founder of GTUG Munich, is organizing an I/O Extended event in Munich to offer a community-oriented experience for those who can't attend in person. This event will feature public viewing of Google I/O sessions, complemented by a BarCamp and an Android Hackathon, providing attendees with opportunities to engage in discussions and innovate. Nils highlights the importance of such gatherings for fostering creativity and collaboration among developers, and he expresses personal interest in learning more about ADK and Project Glass. He emphasizes the uniqueness of I/O Extended Munich as a tech-focused public viewing event akin to sports event viewings, complete with local culture elements like beer steins. Despite not attending Google I/O in person due to family commitments, Nils values the scale and networking opportunities the event offers, alongside its impressive array of technological showcases and influential attendees.
