Do you dream of developing an application software for consumers globally?Do you have software coding and design skills you would love to put to practical use?Or.... are you simply a techie with too much time on your hands?
Google looks forward to hosting a competition for university students in East Africa.Participants from Tanzania,Kenya,Uganda,Rwanda,Burundi and Ethiopian can design and build gadgets and win prizes.Gadgets are small,simple applications that run on web pages.There are gadgets for easy email access,gadgets for fun and gadgets for frivolity.They're simple to develop,given some knowledge of HTML(and ideally XML and Javascript too).And they're easy to distribute-through iGoogleTM (Google's personalised homepage),platforms such as OpenSocialTM and third-party websites.There are tens of millions of people who use gadgets globally,generating billions of gadgets pageviews per week!
The competition will run between February and June 2008,with more details(including a dedicated competition website and explanations of terms and restrictions) to follow in January.In the mean time,there's more for the curious and the technically-minded at http:/code.google.com/apis/gadgets.
