TIMOTHY JORDAN: I'm just waiting for the shot to finish.
OK, there we are.
So, I'm here with Daniel in the Community Lounge, where
people from all over the world are gathering at Google I/O.
Can you tell us a little bit about the activities going on
here, and what people are saying?
DANIEL FRANC: Yeah, the lounge, it's
pretty new on the I/O. Like, we used
to have community areas on the I/O,
but nothing huge like this.
I don't know if the camera can capture it.
But this is basically like the whole tent--
like the front porch of it.
And as you can see, it's crowded.
And people come here to chill, to play, they play pool.
We have some wooden block building games.
We've got some networking games.
People chatting.
You don't hear me saying we have any gadgets here.
It's completely unplugged.
And, like, people here maybe come
to relax a little bit from all the technology, which happens
in the tents everywhere else.
And they just sit back and relax and talk to other people.
So we are the place, sort of, maybe
to unplug from the technology for a little bit.
We also have some local meetups.
So I'm with GDGs--
I'm in the communities team in Google.
So we help communities around the world to do meetups.
So we thought, why don't we do meetups here.
So we have about 25 small meetups.
And it's anything for like, people who did applications
for social good.
Or just now, I think there is some meetup
of Russian-speaking developers.
So we have the whole day.
They come here, they meet.
It's very unprogrammed, very anarchistic in a way.
So we have also a bunch of Googlers coming here
to relax from the I/O madness.
I love it.
I hope we do it next year.
And when you come next year, make sure you drop by.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Awesome.
Well, let's check out some of the stuff.
DANIEL FRANC: Awesome.
Let's go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So this I/O '17 Hello World hashtag.
#io17, #helloworld, you can actually check in there right
now if you are bored with my face.
And what happens is that we are building a bridge here.
But communities, they don't function
with a boss or a blueprint, et cetera.
So this experiment is about what happens
if you want to construct, maybe the next Golden Gate,
without blueprints or managers.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Uh--
DANIEL FRANC: You see, it's pretty chaotic.
Yeah.
Timothy, I know, like, we are not Golden Gate Bridge quality
yet.
Maybe we will not be ever.
As I said, this is an experiment.
We are on day 1.
So we'll see how it goes.
We also ask people to-- if they are developers,
to write Hello World in their first programming language.
So I had mine here-- like 10 print Hello World in BASIC.
I was very tempted to say 20 go to 10,
you know, see the wooden blocks here being covered everywhere
here.
So you can see plenty of languages here.
So yeah.
Let's see-- let's see what happens.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DANIEL FRANC: All right, so Timothy,
I know I said the lounge is unplugged.
But this is-- I was cheating.
This is an exception.
As you can see, this is very much plugged in.
But what we are playing here is something
that I want to tell you informally--
we are not publishing.
This is a YouTube playlist of some of the greatest GDG
trailers and videos from around the world.
Google Developer Groups, they organize meetups,
events, activities.
And they sometimes put crazy videos online.
So we made, like, a two hour playlist out of it.
You can find this whole screen on your own screen if you enter
the address bit.ly/loungetv.
I'm not saying don't say it to anyone because I just
said it to you.
But you can be here with us at least
virtually through this playlist.
So enjoy it.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Cool.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So what is this?
DANIEL FRANC: Yeah.
You have seen the movie "Inception", right?
And in the keynote in the morning
today, you are talking about "Inception."
So this is a device.
I don't know what for, I don't know what it will do to you.
I mean, if people want to see more videos of you,
I don't know if you want to sit in it, but--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Let's try it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: This is a core workout.
This is kind of like planking, but better.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DANIEL FRANC: You can get a hangover from this.
[LAUGHTER]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: All right.
DANIEL FRANC: So let me introduce Nina.
Nina is from Georgia and she is running
one of the meetups I was talking about.
And this meetup is--
what is it about, Nina?
Who is it for?
NINA: This meetup is for developers, mostly.
And that cover the topics of how we can develop apps or use
current apps for social good--
so basically, the social aspects that our apps can have.
Because technologists have so many opportunities,
and it can really, you know, go beyond just consumer reasons,
right?
Like it can serve so much more purposes.
So I'm going to be sharing my own experience how
my teammates Elva and [INAUDIBLE]
are helping to help people in conflict and crisis situations
to better monitor situations.
Or how you are helping farmers with information,
and probably get some more ideas from others.
So it is very informal, very improvised,
because everyone is in the line for ice cream.
So I hope that some will join us.
And it's going to be just a friendly session.
And thanks to Dan for this opportunity.
I think it's fun and cool, so--
do develop apps for social good.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Awesome.
Thank you.
NINA: So you're welcome to join.
