Subject: Summary of 2013 IO Extended in China
To: DevRel Team
Cc: DevRel_China_News_and_Report
Hi, Everyone:
As yesterday's wrapping-up email from the IO team closing the chapter of this year's IO excitement, I'd like to add one more last hurrah, for something that other parts of the world might take for granted, but it's extraordinary nevertheless, in a unique market in the world where we have special challenges: a large number of IO Extended happened in China this year, due to the extraordinary effort and passion by the GDGs here.
Unlike the rest of the world where developers get easy access to all Google products and technologies, be able to easily buy IO tickets, watching IO keynote on Youtube, using G+ and Hangouts to share with their communities about IO, etc., not so in China, ironically, in the world's largest Internet market, due to almost all of our services are unenviable or blocked here. Throughout the history of IO, while rest of the world having many IO Extended events on the opening day with tens of thousands of developers watching, it's virtually unknown to most of the developers here in China, due to the media blackouts on positive news from Google, as well as the time zone difficulties. In the past couple of years, the only IO Extended event in China was the single one organized by our local OPG team colleagues in the Google Beijing office, with several dozen Ads partners attending.
This year, as the result of our continued effort in the GDG program, and our DevRel's budget help in sponsoring them, for the first time in the history of IO, 19 IO Extended events took place across China, mostly of them organized by our GDG volunteers - 9 GDGs organized their own IO Extended event, some of them even organized more than one IO Extended in their city. The total number of attendees passed 645.
What's extraordinary about this, is not only we had a dramatic event number increase this year - jumping from 1 to nearly 20, compare to previous years, but also the extraordinary efforts our GDG volunteers putting into, to make this happen - they had to overcome the time zone issue to rally developers to come watch the keynote (which is midnight local time), and they had to overcome the special challenge that IO live broadcast is blocked here, so all of our GDG organizers had to work extra hard by setting up VPN, changing local host, using Goagent, etc. to find ways to "climb the wall", some of them even had to prepare multiple network connectivity options in anticipating blockage and network speed issues. These organizers went out their ways to make sure they got their first community-organized IO Extended event a successful one, including buying drinks and snacks, to please the late night crowd to stay past 3AM.
Some of their event summaries (in Chinese) posted on our nationwide ChinaGDG forum: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Hefei, Zhuhai 1, Zhuai 2, Zhuai 3, Xiamen, Zhangjiakou, Wurumiqi, Some of their events photos below.
I am very proud of our GDGs in China making this year's IO Extended event in this challenging market a historic success. Their passion, volunteerism, support, and love of Google, is heart warming and inspirational to us!
Thanks!
Bill
