MARISSA: Hi there.
DAVE: Hey.
MARISSA: I'm Marissa.
DAVE: And I'm Dave.
MARISSA: And we work on the Google Developer Relations
Team.
We're here at the DevZone, which is the ecosystem for developers
here at Google Cloud Next.
DAVE: Right now at DevZone Theater,
we're hosting a panel discussion with the authors of Go.
This is an interactive session where
people can learn about the language
and find out what's coming next.
MARISSA: Come with us as we explore
the rest of the DevZone.
Let's go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
SPEAKER 1: Correct.
MARISSA: Correct.
No way.
This is the coolest thing ever.
[CLAPPING]
DAVE: Hey.
SPEAKER 2: Come on.
Say, banana.
Excellent.
Perfect.
We got one.
DAVE: How's it look?
SPEAKER 2: I think it's looking pretty good, actually.
DAVE: Cool.
I'm getting my snaps on here at the Network Journey Experiment,
where we're showcasing the speed and breadth of Google's
worldwide network.
What's going on here, [INAUDIBLE]??
SPEAKER 2: Well, exactly.
So we're demonstrating here how Google's investment
in infrastructure allows our customers
to move their data around the world
without having to access the public internet.
It's fast and it's secure.
DAVE: And what does taking selfies have to do with it?
SPEAKER 2: Taking selfies--
so just like when you travel and you
get stamps on your passport, we're
actually taking the data that makes up your picture.
And as it passes through these different regions
and these data centers, we stamp it with that location.
So when it comes back around to the destination
where you took these pictures, then we
have actual proof that your data moved through all these data
centers.
DAVE: That's really cool.
Has my picture made it around the world yet?
SPEAKER 2: Ah, let's see.
Indeed it has.
DAVE: All right.
Looking good.
SPEAKER 2: None the worse for wear.
DAVE: Thanks.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MARISSA: Hey Fran, how's it going?
FRAN: Hi, I'm good, thank you.
MARISSA: Thanks so much for talking with me today.
Could you share a little bit of what you and your team
are up to here in the DevZone.
FRAN: So I'm from the Developer Relations Ecosystem team,
and we are informing people here about the different community
programs that we have in the area of cloud.
MARISSA: Awesome.
So what type of programs do you have that people
can take advantage of?
FRAN: So we basically have three programs.
So it's the Google Developer Expert, the ambassador
in a specific area of technology,
we have the Google Developer Groups.
Those are local meetups that you can go to all over the globe.
And we also have the Women Tech Makers.
That's a program that increases diversity.
MARISSA: So specifically there are
programs that people can take advantage
of in different communities all over the globe.
FRAN: Yes.
You can basically-- everywhere you go, you can go to a meetup,
you can meet Google developer experts
and talk to them about your area of interest.
MARISSA: Awesome.
Thank you so much for your time.
FRAN: Thank you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAVE: It's 3:14 here in the DevZone,
and that means it's pi time.
We're celebrating because a fellow Googler of mine,
Emma Haruka Iwao, recently broke the Guinness World
Record for number of digits of pi
calculated, using cloud computing for the first time,
to compute 31.4 trillion digits of pi.
That's a lot of pi.
I'm going to get my celebration on.
[MUMBLING HUNGRILY]
That's math-a-licious.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MARISSA: Hi there.
I'm here with Paris at one of the community corners.
Hey, Paris, how's it going?
PARIS: It's going good.
How are you, Marissa?
MARISSA: I'm good.
What do you do here?
PARIS: I am a Google Cloud open source strategist.
I work on upstream Kubernetes.
I'm a co-chair of the special interest group
for contributor experience.
MARISSA: And what makes Kubernetes unique,
do you think?
PARIS: The community, definitely.
I think we have one of the largest
contributing communities.
And I think it's important to get customers
to participate in that.
And that's why I'm here today.
MARISSA: Awesome.
And what have you been doing while you've
been here at the DevZone?
PARIS: Oh, playing arcade games.
It's been wonderful.
Watching awesome speakers, and meeting awesome contributors.
It's been great to have all of this in one spot.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAVE: We showed you just a few of
the cool interactive experiences here at Google Cloud Next.
But you don't have to be here in person to check this out.

You can do it right now with Qwiklabs.
Get certified, learn all about Google products,
