GeekCamp Singapore is back, and better than ever!

And this time with multiple tracks, more talks and even a coding contest.

History of GeekCamp Singapore

Like all important things in the world, it all started with a tweet from Kamal saying, “I’m going to run GeekCamp. All technical talks, single track. No offense to marketers, *preneurs, social media experts but you can suck it.”

What started off as a tweet then turned into a huge technology meet-up in KL, after which, Jason Ong brought this event to Singapore in August 2009 — that turned out to be a rip-roaring fun event as well. Attendees of last year’s event will vouch for the great hallway conversations they had during talks which sparked further ideas and projects.

This year’s version of Geekcamp will have multiple-track sessions with pure technical talks ranging from face-recognition algorithms to building a touch-table interface.

Register for GeekCamp Singapore here.

GeekCamp Singapore will be held on 4 Sept at SMU School of Information System.

We are looking for speakers who are willing to share their technical expertise. If you think you’ve worked on a cool hack, (either in your spare time or at work) or have learned something insanely great, we (and fellow geeks in Singapore) would love to hear from you.

So don’t be shy, get away from your computer and spend a great day at GeekCamp. Interested speakers – please email Jason at velvetpd[at]gmail[dot]com

Buffett’s successor is a high-tech Asian investor

The candidate is hedge fund manager Li Lu, a Chinese-American who was a democracy activist in Tiananmen Square. He spotted Chinese battery-maker BYD for Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, netting USD1.2 billion in profits, and ran a venture fund in the late 90s for US tech companies.

Middle East states ban BlackBerry services: Saudi Arabia banned BlackBerry’s Messenger services yesterday, following a United Arab Emirates ban on the device’s messenger, email and web browsing services. Both states cited security concerns about encrypted data transmitted by the devices. The ban affects about 700,000 users in both states, Reuters reported. The ban kicks in in October and it will affect visitors with roaming devices as well, the Associated Press reported.

TechCrunch visits Southeast Asia: TechCrunch’s Asia rep, Dr Serkan Toto, writes up a dense summary of OpenWebAsia, which was held a few weeks ago in Kuala Lumpur. Perhaps more interesting than the event summary are what he sees as the major problems for Southeast Asia’s web and mobile markets: Weak exits, brain drain and fragmented markets.

Singapore marketers don’t like Twitter: ZDNet Asia reports that Twitter is still a “fringe” platform that some marketers in Singapore believe is mainly used by “teens-wannabees [sic]“. The marketers and their clients like Facebook a lot more.

Singapore’s public library launches Facebook app: Singapore’s public library system launched its myLibrary Facebook app last week., The app lets you access your library account, browse books and share your recommendations from within Facebook.

Event – Singapore – Entrepreneurs Corner @ SMU: Entrepreneurs, investors and mentors are invited to this monthly evening networking session. There’s an open mic where you can make a three-minute elevator pitch to the audience.

Google IO 2010 is Google’s largest annual 2 days developer conference participated by over 5000 people attending over 90 technical sessions covering every aspect of technology from the search giant. I was attending Google IO together with my colleagues Navin Kumar and Vikram Rangnekar. Our company Voiceroute Pte Ltd was invited to demonstrate and talk about how our online business collaboration service Socialwok (http://socialwok.com) uses Google technology.

This was our first Google IO event and we were very excited about the cool new technologies that Google might unveil at the event. In addition, Google was also giving out a free Nexus One mobile phone for every conference participant.

On both days of Google IO, we would start the day with the keynote address. During the first day, Vic Gundotra (Vice President of engineering at Google) got on stage and talked about how Google envisions that the web will evolve to support rich web based applications. Google announced that it was making available free to everyone a new high-quality and open standards based video format called WebM (http://www.webmproject.org/). Google also announced the new Google Chrome store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore) that will allow millions of web users using the Chrome web browser to find and purchase any type of web applications.

On the day two keynote, Google unveiled the much anticipated Google TV project. Google is now bringing the web surfing and web search experience to the TV. Users can now browse the web, search for TV and youtube content using their television sets. Eric Schmit (CEO of Google) held a round-table discussion with partners like Sony and Adobe describing how Google TV could touch the lives of millions worldwide by changing the way people use their television sets.

Google had a nice surprise for everyone when it announced that it would be giving every conference participant a second free 4G compatible mobile-phone called HTC EVO that came with a free 30 day broadband wireless package.

Google IO was definitely a great experience for a Singapore startup like Socialwok. My colleagues and I had a great time talking and demoing Socialwok to the conference attendees, Googlers and famous technology bloggers like Robert Scoble and Louis Gray. We also got lots of press attention from high traffic web sites like theNextWeb and Techcrunch who wrote articles about Socialwok at Google IO. All in all, we were definitely very happy to leave the conference with two very nice smart phones knowing how our friends in Singapore would be so envious.
