ICT Meetup 2012: a CHAPTER I learned very well


Event: ICT Meetup 2012
Date: 17 july 2012
Organized by: Prime IT Club
Venue: Prime College(New Building) Nayabazar
 People learn from their failure, but there are some examples where we can learn even more from winner. I wanna join this context with no other than ICT Meetup 2012, the program was completely perfect with nice handling. The program was obstructed, so it couldn’t get it’s time…it sifted unwantedly but finally it did its role greatly.

I arrived with my ASCOLians at the mid of the formal session, I got the chance to heard some inspirable speech from Biplav Man Shrestha , former president of Computer Association of Nepal(CAN ,i remember he took some phrase of Steve Jobs. After him, Main Guest Mr. Manahor Bhattrai, former vice president of HLCIT did put some words and shows some truth regarding to cost of man power and chance of global positioning in IT development. In this way some other guest also made their word. The ground was almost filled with participant, they were hurried about the session…some guys were queued for registration and rest were gathering and guffing.

The program was organized by Prime IT Club. But I could see the majority of participants were from the other college and organization than the Prime College. I was surprise to see some unexpected face there, which means, the program had good coverage. After the inauguration session crowd was moved for the presentation session with their interest. There was more than dozen of session and obviously the program was designed for the 3 parallel sessions.  So, one thing was sure that I must lose 2 sessions at least when I sited for one. I prioritize the presentation based on my interest….firstly I decided for Wordpress, secondly GIS, Thirdly Foss Philosophy …………
When I reached on hall1 for Wordpress, the hall was full from the participants and more crowds were hanging outside the door. There were no chair but still lots of participants were expecting to join there….that session was conducted by Wordpress Nepal, Ujjwal dai, Chandra dai, Yalambar  and other were planned to presented. I gave my sit to other one and move outside from that hall1 because I thought at least new participant will get chance to know about Wordpress Nepal and I will obviously with Wordpress Nepal for next Wordpress Meetup. Then, I move to other hall; I saw same crowds in other hall too. The same scenario was seen whole day.
The program was full of spirit, and it was successful program … now I have question in my mind, how did this happen? Why this one program succeed?  Answer was not much complicated. It was seems like due to long hardworking and great planning, more straightforward we can see their perfect planning and hard work…. Every one (organizing and volunteer) was busy with their task, no one was confused with their task they had done very beautifully. This is a great part that I learn from that even and obviously I will utilize sooner. Now my suggestion and expect from Prime IT Club is you guy should prepare for next more great programs, I love to join it……………………..…..

KTM-GTUG in NCE IT Fair 2012



Friday 15 june 2012.
Location:  Talchikhel Lalitpur
NCE IT Fair 2012
Organized by: National College of Engineering Family.
The program was scheduled to ceremoniously started by 8 A.M. and almost I was also planned to be there at time, but due to some absurd condition arised, we(me and Hempal Dai) were arrived at 9:30and that was the just nearby of completion of formal session.  We were went there as a presenter of that 2 days fair, I had made my presentation in KTM-GTUG and hempal dai was in regular topic Foss Nepal and Licensing. One of the students of their Sanoj welcomed us and his friend Smriti covered details of us.
We planned to start visit the stall and went through stall and stall, as expectedly there we met our friends form KU representing Foss Nepal that made us more easy and cool. After having some snacks we moved toward the building, we first entered in Game Zone, everyone was busy with their competition setup. Competitors were ready for Fifa 12, Dota and CS.  After that we climbed for upper floor, Some guys were preparing for IT Quiz, some for 3D Movie show, and some for other stuff…. And Finally I reached in IT presentation floor.

Presentation program was started at 12:30 with the presentation of Kailash Badu from Cloud Factory on Technology for Development. He explained the technology very clearly and cleverly and exampled the power of code …. He showed this technology can change the world. After that next presentation was quite interesting, presented by Madhav Adhikari, Treasure of Nepal GIS Society, He is experienced of 12 years in GIS, he was the first student of Geographical Study in Nepal. He explained about GIS system and the status in Nepal, he showed the value and importance of spatial data everywhere. Third presentation was by Nirajan Shrestha on Ecommerce, He was representative from Muncha.com,  He showed the change in online consumer and trend of online business. The forth presentation was on Mobile Social Network, that was presented by Prawesh Shrestha . He explored the role, impact and future of mobile development in world as well in Nepal he call everybody to join and take benefit from it.
After Prawesh, finally I got the time for presentation, I had chosen a topic as “Kathmandu GTUG (soon to re-branded as GDG - Kathmandu” I started by introducing GTUG and Google’s Developer Technology, I slightly focus on KTM-GTUG, it’s motivation and  it’s target. I mostly focus on next program including Google Developer Group Kathmandu, Google I/O and Google Apps Developer Challenge 2012. I requested them to join in out google group(www.groups.google.com/group/ktmgtug) and take a chance to participate in the program. And at last Pradeep Kandel from MIC Nepal lasted the first day session by Server Virtualization.

What I observed there was that program was 5 rated from my side, Those people were done their job very cleanly even we didn’t feel it was first one.  While having refreshments in canteen, we got the chance to talk with Head of Department (actually I forgot name…………. .hm may be Rajendra Adhikari) I felt how much college and administration was supporting their student and program as well. This is an example for other student and other college for doing something special and something great.

IPhone 4S: New Technology



It is like a passion of this new generations’ to have iPhone. Apple introduced iPhone in 2007 for first time. And it became most successful technology and the evidence of this is a line of thousands of customers to be the first to buy the phones, which featured computing and Wi-Fi capabilities, along with a crisp, computer-like display on an innovative touch screen.
It constantly and continuously improves it and make new version with special features. Following this principle in October 2011, the company revealed an excitedly awaited new version of the device, the iPhone 4S.  It is the fifth generation of the iPhone and retains the exterior design of its predecessor, the iPhone 4, but is host to a range of improved hardware specifications and software updates.
Some of the special feature make it more special and more demanded, the phone added a voice recognition system known as Siri, that recognized voice commands by users to schedule appointments, dictate text messages and conduct Web searches; and a cloud storage service named iCloud which is the easiest way to manage all your stuff, because it manages it all for you. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents, and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. It’s automatic, effortless, and seamless. The iSight camera just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you’ve got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture
Although the new phone was virtually indistinguishable on the outside from its predecessor, the iPhone 4, it was packed with better technical innards, including a more advanced camera. The phone also included a more powerful chip known as the A5, the same microprocessor that acts as the brains inside the iPad.
