Hallo Members, This month, GDG Kampala <http://www.kampala.gtugs.org> is having a focus on Google Maps.
GDG Kampala is organising a code lab this Friday 10th August 2012 at Outbox Hub <http://www.outbox.co.ug> to show software developers how to use the Google Maps API on the web. Google maps<https://developers.google.com/maps/>can be used to build innovative websites right from a map showing Gorilla trekking routes in the Mgahinga mountains to a map showing places where significant events happened in Uganda over the last 50 years. Google Maps has a wide array of APIs that let you embed the robust functionality and everyday usefulness of Google Maps into your own website and applications, and overlay your own data on top of them. We believe the code lab will help us come up with such interesting applications. Please register to get your slot at the event http://goo.gl/iupsL More to that, Mobile Monday Kampala <http://www.momokla.ug> will be holding it's event on Monday 13th August 2012 at Outbox Hub<http://www.outbox.co.ug>. The aim of the next MoMo Kampala meeting is to help us *to better appreciate the concept of geospatial information and its relevance to our daily lives*. In a nutshell, Spatial Data Infrastructure, SDI, and Geographical Information System, GIS, are closely related tools that can assist us in visualizing the world around us, improving our visual acuity, as it were, as one who is near sighted may do simply by being fitted with a pair of eyeglasses. And it is through the accurate mapping of those blank spaces you may have noticed on Google Maps or Open Street Map, that we pave the way ahead for more efficient development.
