I work with Startup Weekend managing this program, and it should be great! If anyone is involved with GTUGs or local Startup Weekend events (or wants to be), either comment here or email me (zachary@startupweekend.org).
Let me know if you have any questions!
hey zach! as a local GTUG organizer, I'm really excited by the idea of running 'Google Bootcamps' to give developers (and entrepreneurs, designers, marketers for that matter!) insight and education into Google's vast platforms and tools.. tied into this wonderful development to inspire and build amazing ideas into startups that change the world. can't wait to start! ;)
This is interesting, especially when read in parallel to the NYT's article, Google’s Chief Works to Trim a Bloated Ship. That article claims Google is shutting down many small projects to focus on more, this is me talking. "marketable" projects. Maybe partnering with startup weekend is a way to stay connected to new innovations and innovators with out having them on the Google payroll. Really interesting. And exciting.
