DevCon Summit 2017

This is my first time attending a DevCon Summit. It’s so expensive. But I can say that the network connections are far more valuable than the Php 2,000 entrance. I went out of my comfort zone and talked to different people and different booths, hoping that we could establish partnership between them (I almost forgotten about this, I should get started on that slide deck).

PHINUG was kind enough to let Pd share their booth.

There are many participating technical communities in this summit. Some of them are AWS User Group, WordPress User Group, Philippine Android Developers Community, Women Who Code, SwiftPh, Mobile .Net Developers Philippines, and Philippine .Net Users Group. PHINUG is kind enough to let us share their booth (Hopefully we’ll be given a chance to participate next year).

It was a great coffee with this guy. we talked about lot of things. specially the APAC MVP Community Connection on Seoul and the Upcoming MVP Summit in Seattle.

Among the topics, that I have particular interest to, is Data Privacy. I know there’s something fishy whenever I have requirements to store Personal Information. Usually I only store these whenever they are a prerequisite on other system features. Now I have to be more careful since there are legal implications when storing these types of information.

I wonder if the data privacy act includes Facebook groups and user groups.
