When you're at the I/O Extended, please take photos and share with the world by using the Twitter hashtag #ioxkl! Don't forget to email me your photos if you're too shy :)

I understand that some of you will be travelling via public transportation, and since the nature of this event will be at midnight, I personally encourage those who have transportation (driving a car) would offer a ride to those that don't have their own mode of transportation. Pay it forward.

See you at I/O!

We have a venue! #ioxKL

Choosing a location is not easy. You have to consider a lot of things, but 1 major important criteria is the internet speed. After deliberating a few locations in Kuala Lumpur, I've finally come to terms by choosing iTrain as the venue of choice for this inaugural "live" event. They have speedy internets!

iTrain, 7th Floor,
Block E, Megan Avenue 1,
189 Jalan Tun Razak,
50400 Kuala Lumpur.

iTrain has been our supporter from day one of inception and together we've come up with various training programs on Google technologies, notably Android application development training for beginners, intermediate & advance. If you're interested, lookout for Mike (also known as Bikesh) at the event.

Join the fun at Google I/O Extended in Kuala Lumpur

This year is yet another record breaking for Google I/O: Tickets were sold out in 59 minutes! So, for those who couldn't make it for Google I/O (that includes myself), the awesome people from Google Developer Relations team has agreed to work together with GTUGs worldwide to organize Google I/O Extended.

What is Google I/O Extended? It's part viewing party, part commune event for developers and people who are deeply interested in Google technologies and developer APIs. You get to mingle with the coolest developers from all around Malaysia (and Singapore apparently), share ideas and thoughts with each other, and most importantly, together we will be watching the live keynote from Moscone West, San Francisco, USA. Expect to hear something really good from Vic Gondutra, VP of Engineering from Google.

Here's the current itinerary for the event:

• Where: Location to be confirmed. I will send the exact location to your email.
• When: Live keynote will start at 00:00 hours on 11th May 2010. It will end at 01:30 hours.

Snacks will be served during the whole event. I will update attendees via email provided during registration.

Register here to book your place. If you can't make it, please let me know. I'd like to make sure everybody gets a chance to join in the fun.

P/S: If you can show me your latest project (or side project) using Google developer APIs, you might walk away with something very cool! Show me the apps!
