ANUJ DUGGAL: Hello.
I'm Anuj Duggal for "The Developers' Show."
This is your weekly update on the coolest developer
news from Google.
As the home for your memories, Google Photos
is loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
One key focus area for us is how we
continue to create truly helpful and compelling experiences
for our users to cherish memories
with their friends and family.
We recently brought our Memories feature to Android widgets,
enabling users to easily enjoy an ambient stream of photos
right on their phone's home screen.
To increase widgets awareness, we
experimented with a notification campaign
that ended up with an achievement of 15% conversion
rate, ultimately resulting in widgets [INAUDIBLE] used
by 10x.
Check out the link in the post for more
on how we accomplished this and why we believe
this campaign was so effective.
We launched Google Cloud Cortex Framework and our data
foundation content so that our customers can
accelerate business outcomes with less risk, complexity,
and cost.
By providing endorsed solution content, including
reference architectures, deployment accelerators,
and integration services for common business scenarios,
Google Cloud Cortex Framework helps
you kick start time to value to get up
and running quickly with Google Cloud.
You can find our Cortex Framework data foundation
content on GitHub and our application
layer specific solution content on Google Cloud Marketplace.
To learn more about Google Cloud Context Framework,
visit our solution page and tune in to our
on demand session at our Data Cloud Summit
for more about what's possible.
The Google Open Source Peer Bonus program
was launched in 2011, and over the years,
became a much loved initiative with an open source.
After receiving over 200 nominations from Googlers,
we are very pleased to announce our biggest group of winners
to date for the Google Open Source Peer Bonus program.
We are honored to present 154 contributors across 29
countries with peer bonuses, representing more
than 80 open source projects.
Head to the link shared below to take a look
at these contributors and their projects.
We congratulate and thank them for their contributions
to open source.
