GhanaGTUG, with support from Esoko and Google, held its first 2012 event last week Thursday evening, Mar 22 at the top floor of Esoko Ghana.

The event was interesting and consisted of mainly two parts.

During the first part, we spent thirty or so minutes discussing the recently held g|ghana 2012 event. Some GhanaGTUG members had a lot to say about the event, but most of the feedback was constructive criticism that would hopefully help Google's Ghana office do a better event next year. We were lucky to have Ato Ulzen-Appiah, who works for Google, moderate this session.

During the next half of the event, Fiifi Baidoo and Jojoo Imbeah recapped GTUG activities that happened in the past year. They also explained what they had in mind as regards activities of the GTUG for the rest of 2012. Their idea was mainly to organise events at which GTUG and invited developers will lead discussions or host tech talks. Nii Quaye and other GTUG members made some good contributions to this discussion. Some developers at the event liked the idea of more action-oriented events re hackathons and code labs.

The developers at the event (more than 20) spent the rest of the evening socialising and networking.

Watch this space as we will send more updates your way.
