我如何將Google I / O 2018的興奮帶給尼日利亞沃里的115個人

Google Developer Group Warri的第一個I / O擴展事件的故事 (A tale of Google Developer Group Warri’s first I/O Extended event)

Google I/O is one of the largest developer festivals in the tech ecosystem. I am the lead organizer for the Google Developer Group in Warri. In a bid to encourage the youth of the city of Warri to embrace technology and become developers, we brought the Google I/O excitement to Warri by hosting our first I/O Extended 2018 here in early June.

Google I / O是技術生態系統中最大的開發人員盛會之一。我是Warri的Google Developer Group的主要組織者。為了鼓勵沃里市的年輕人擁抱技術并成為開發人員，我們于6月初在這里舉辦了我們的第一個I / O Extended 2018 ，將Google I / O的激動帶到了沃里。

In an earlier article, I talked about my journey and how I got 100 members to join our GDG chapter. I talked about how I went to the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Delta State.

在上一篇文章中，我談到了自己的旅程以及如何讓100名成員加入GDG章節。我談到了我如何去達美州立大學埃弗弗倫分校的聯邦石油資源大學。

What I didn’t discuss, however, was that at the same time as I was trying to get the first set of members to join the GDG in Warri, another institution, the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) in Effurun, Delta State, was in the middle of first semester exams. So, naturally, I had to abandon my plans of speaking to the computer science students there so they could focus on their exams. I knew there would be another time to address them.

但是，我沒有討論的是，在我試圖讓第一批成員加入沃里的GDG的同時，另一家機構是位于三角洲州埃夫富隆的石油培訓學院(PTI)，在第一學期的考試中。因此，自然而然地，我不得不放棄與那里的計算機科學專業學生交談的計劃，以便他們可以專注于考試。我知道還會有時間解決這些問題。

Well, that time came as we were planning for our first I/O extended 2018.

好吧，那是我們計劃在2018年首次擴展I / O的時候。

但是首先，這是什么Google I / O？ (But first of all, what is this Google I/O?)

The Google I/O is Google’s annual developers festival — that brings together developers from around the world for tech talks, demos, codelabs, and major product announcements from Google. — Google IO
Google I / O是Google一年一度的開發人員節，它將來自世界各地的開發人員聚集在一起，以進行技術講座，演示，代碼實驗室和Google的主要產品公告。 — Google IO

Through the developer groups, Google’s vast distributed developer communities across the world can experience the awesome moments of the main Google I/O gathering held in Mountain View, California, even if they do not attend the festival.

通過開發人員小組，即使遍布全球的分散的Google開發人員社區，即使他們沒有參加音樂節，他們也可以體驗在加利福尼亞山景城舉行的Google I / O主要聚會的精彩時刻。

How can this be, even for someone like me who didn’t attend the I/O festival in 2018? This is where Google I/O Extended comes into the picture. The extended events bring together software developers, aspiring software developers, code-newbies, and tech enthusiasts from all over.

即使對于像我這樣沒有參加2018年I / O節的人來說，情況也如何？這是Google I / O Extended出現的地方。擴展的活動匯集了來自各地的軟件開發人員，有抱負的軟件開發人員，代碼新手和技術愛好者。

Google I / O擴展了什么？ (What is Google I/O extended?)

Basically, the extended events can take different forms. A GDG chapter can, for example, host a live viewing party, like the one hosted by the GDG in Lagos where the members watched the live keynotes.

基本上，擴展事件可以采用不同的形式。例如，GDG分會可以舉辦現場觀看晚會，就像GDG在拉各斯舉行的成員觀看現場主旨演講那樣。

As the lead organizer for the GDG Warri, I opted to host the extended event after I/O 2018. I planned to hold it on June 2, 2018 at the PTI Conference Centre, in Effurun-Warri, Delta State, Nigeria.

作為GDG Warri的主要組織者，我選擇在2018年I / O之后舉辦擴展活動。我計劃于2018年6月2日在尼日利亞三角州埃夫富隆-沃里的PTI會議中心舉行。

And to appeal to the diverse interests of our evolving developer community, I decided to make the event a multifaceted one. In the line-up we had flutter (Google’s SDk for building mobile apps for Android and iOS platforms), recorded sessions, live speaker sessions, codelabs, and a fireside chat.

為了吸引我們不斷發展的開發人員社區的不同利益，我決定將這次活動變成一個多方面的活動。在陣容，我們有撲 (谷歌的SDK構建Android和iOS平臺上的移動應用程序)，記錄會話，現場喇叭會議，codelabs和爐邊談話。

參加者宣傳：針對100名參加者 (Publicity for the participants: aiming for 100 attendees)

With the success of our first meetup (which you can read about here), I decided to take it one step further: having 100 people attend the I/O extended 2018 Warri events.

隨著我們第一次見面會的成功(您可以在此處了解到)，我決定更進一步：讓100人參加I / O擴展的2018 Warri活動。

Now that the Petroleum Training Institute was done with their exams, and had resumed for a new semester, it was easy to get an appointment to introduce the GDG Warri to the students and invite them to join us at I/O extended.

如今，石油培訓學院已經完成了他們的考試，并且已經恢復了新學期，現在可以很容易地任命將GDG Warri介紹給學生，并邀請他們加入我們的I / O擴展課程。

I also went to the CCT Warri study centre (a computer training institute) and visited the facility we had used for our first meetup. They also gave me an opportunity to address and invite their students to the event. For this I am grateful to the management of the institution.

我還去了CCT Warri學習中心(一家計算機培訓機構)，并參觀了我們用于第一次聚會的設施。他們還給了我一個機會致辭并邀請他們的學生參加活??動。為此，我感謝機構的管理。

Well, in the end, my campaign efforts paid off: I had 115 people turn up at I/O extended 2018 Warri. And it was our first I/O event as a GDG chapter! We even capped the event meetup RSVP page at 100.

好吧，最后，我的競選工作得到了回報：在2018年Warri的I / O大會上，我有115人參加了會議。作為GDG的章節，這是我們的第一個I / O活動！我們甚至將活動見面會RSVP頁面的上限設置為100。

I / O與GDG Warri開發人員社區的相關性 (Relevance of I/O to the GDG Warri developer community)

I didn’t just want to host an event without having a major an impact on the attendees. I made the basic assumption that not everyone who attended would want to be a web developer. So I had to line up an agenda that would suit the needs of the greatest number of attendees and budding developers.

我不僅想舉辦一場活動，而且不會對與會者產生重大影響。我做出的基本假設是，并非所有參加會議的人都希望成為Web開發人員。因此，我必須制定一個議程，以適應最大數量的參與者和新興的開發人員的需求。

To cater to the needs of those who might want to get into mobile app development, introducing them to Flutter seemed the natural option to get them started on that path.

為了滿足那些可能想要進入移動應用程序開發的人們的需求，將它們引入Flutter似乎是讓他們開始走這條路的自然選擇。

To encourage the participation of women in technology, I reached out to Perrie Fidelis, who is a UI/UX designer. Perrie gave a talk on the importance of good design. Well, Perrie enters the record books as the GDG Warri’s first female speaker!

為了鼓勵女性參與技術開發，我聯系了UI / UX設計師Perrie Fidelis 。 Perrie談到了良好設計的重要性。好吧，Perrie作為GDG Warri的第一位女發言人進入了唱片行！

We got started with Flutter, and I handled the live speaker session. My session was meant to help developers lay the foundation to build apps using Flutter while leveraging on the codelabs.

我們從Flutter開始，我負責現場演講。我的會議旨在幫助開發人員在利用代碼實驗室的同時，為使用Flutter構建應用程序奠定基礎。

But we faced a challenge with the internet service provider, and didn’t have the opportunity to proceed with the codelabs. And for that I am truly sorry. We will host a meetup for Flutter as a make-up for the challenge.

但是我們面臨著互聯網服務提供商的挑戰，并且沒有機會繼續進行代碼實驗室。為此，我真的很抱歉。我們將為Flutter舉辦聚會，以彌補挑戰。

前方的路 (The road ahead)

These are exciting times for Warri and Delta State. Sometimes, you don’t realize how much of an impact you’ve made in the lives of people until you get to see the smiles on their faces when they greet you.

對于沃里和三角洲州來說，這是激動人心的時刻。有時，您直到人們看到他們向您打招呼時臉上的笑容，才意識到自己對人們生活的影響有多大。

Going forward, we will do more for the evolving developer community in Warri and see where this takes us .

展望未來，我們將為Warri不斷發展的開發人員社區做更多工作，并了解這將帶給我們什么。
