Davao Google Developer Group DevFest

From Dulce Lada:

Take part in Davao City’s first ever DevFest this coming October 27th!

DevFests are large, community-run events that can offer speaker sessions across product areas, all-day hack-a-thons, code labs, and more. Each GDG DevFest will be inspired by, and uniquely tailored to, the needs of the hosting developer community.

Here, developers will be able to interact with Google engineers and local developers who work on the products and ask them questions.The engineers will also talk about the latest and greatest from Google, with best practices on how to improve the quality of web and mobile apps.

While no two events are exactly alike, each GDG DevFest will, at its core, be powered by a shared belief that when developers come together to exchange ideas, amazing things can happen.

Fr. Denny in Recovery

Update on Fr. Denny, from Fr. Joel.

With the Jesuit Community of Davao, I would like to thank all of you who have offered special prayers for the success of the kidney transplant that was performed on Fr. Denny Toledo, S.J. last Monday.

I am happy to report to the University Community that the procedure – as far as the doctors now assess – has been successful. Fr. Denny’s donor was his own nephew, Noel. The donated kidney has been received well by Fr. Denny’s system and is reported to be functioning as expected.

Fr. Denny is being transferred from the ICU of the National Kidney Institute Hospital to a regular room, but Noel is already up and about.

For the meantime, while Fr. Denny’s immune system is being artificially regulated, visitors are discouraged.

Let’s continue praying for Fr. Denny!
