Hmm, the response i think is above ok, cause they actually clapped their hands and started to say nice tech and app some of the Google engrs started to say you should try adding more API like OpenSOcial in the app since it is in mobile and in Android which is in Google, the Google DevFest Team liked it because they can recognize me as ("Oh your the one who presented an Android App) and i had to asked them questions of some of the API i used in which something is going wrong and they appreciated that, Jason Costa , their Technical Programs Manager did approached me to my table and told me i did a great job and that the presentation was great to be discussed and clean about the details, upon the end of the fest he then asked me to wait and gave me his calling card to which he also asked me but unfortunately i dont have one , so i said i did wrote my contact to Mr. Rovagnati (Globant/Google, this guy also approached me and asked my calling card, he just grab his own calling card and told me to write it there) maybe you can ask him, so he said ok no problem! :-[

We were two to present the Android the first one is from NEC, he presented about putting OpenSocial in his proposal project for Android but no app available, and then im next to him (actually im next to the Google table and i heard that they wanted to put the 2 Android presentors.




so basically that's what happend, beginner's luck :-D !
