Gogogo 香港 Barcamp
在網上說了數月 “GGG” 或 “去去去” 後，經過星期六在香港 barcamp 作演說後，終於可以明正言順對大家說 gogogo 計劃了。
在 barcamp 當日，我們主要說了有關 gogogo 的四個 W － 甚麼 (What) ? 為何 (Why) ? 誰 (Who) ? 何時 (When) ?
Gogogo 到底是甚麼？
Gogogo 是一個公共交通路程計劃的開放源碼計劃。簡單來說，gogogo 會告訴你怎樣坐公共交通工具，從 A 點到達 B 點。它像 Google Transit、Yahoo travel、和香港的公共交通查詢系統（PTES）。

iPhone 餐廳搜尋
在一星期前，除了參加 Smartone 的博客聚會外，也參加了一個新假期的博客和聽眾聚會，同樣是 MobileRadio.HK 安排的。
iPhone 餐廳搜尋
多月來我也使用幾個香港餐廳搜尋的 iphone 程式，當中我覺得 Gohan 和 Walkamap 較好用的。但在兩者之間，Walkamap 比較好用，因為 Walkamap 的資料庫是存在 iPhone 機用，資料搜尋比需要經互聯網取讀的 Gohan 為快。
而 Walkamap 的作者是 Chris Chan（無名），他同樣也是本地 blogger 和推友，也曾在 Firefox 3 Party 作演講。新假期也透過 twitter 和他認識，然後為新假期提供一個改版的 Walkamap 給新假期使用。

Google Map Blogger Meeting
In order to announce offical launch of Google map Hong Kong, Google organises a meeting for media press and HK bloggers. We can see that Google thinks Bloggers are a important media in web 2.0 age. As a software developer and technology blogger, I joined the meeting and bloged for this meeting.
Thanks Google to give me a free dinner at IFC. And I met local bloggers, podcasters and technical guys in the meeting. It is a good chance to share ideas with google engineers from Beijing and Taipei office.
As you look out my blog, you found I am a google map API user - showing tropcial cyclone tracks and markers on any potential tropical disturbances in north-western pacific ocean on google map with its API, and I showed my TC track map to one of google engineer, Ben.
Their cantonese-speaking engineers introduced latest features on Hong Kong google map, and the most attractive 3rd-party deployment is deployed by HKJC, to show past horse racing on google map.
I talked with another google engineer about HK public traffic information. Although I am not asking about any business secret, I want to know whether they will add HK bus and van routes information on their map, he didn’t want to tell me their information sources of existing railway information nor planning on future development, but it seems the HK railway information is provided and added by others from public.
It is hard to figure out whether they will add these information. But I think HK bus & van routes information on google map is much useful than railway. And I was considering to gather bus information and add it to google map.
When I am blogging for this post, I found that the existing railway information is hosted at Google code and added by google engineers.
