This story began nearly 1 year ago. From @UlyTheresia , @Bang_Insan, and others, they all created a group, a community where some people will contribute to making a better Maps, giving the others a valid information, Jakarta Local Guide. And now the time has come, we celebrate a year of togetherness.
We celebrate it with happiness and knowledge. We called it “Sharing Session”, which the idea was to sharing knowledge, tips, and trick, not only for Local Guide and Maps but people around us who need our help.
Mr. Bambang, Mr. Hendra, Mr. @RahmatHarmanP , Mr. @BudiFXW , Ms. @RiaLyzara , and Mr. @inimasabi are some of Jakarta Local Guide’s Member who have been shared their expertise and experience with us. Also, Mr. Sulandi from Google Business Group introduces us what is Business Group and encourage us to become an entrepreneur.
Before we go to the sharing session, UlyTheresia has the privilege to cut the birthday cake, and “Tumpeng” (a Javanese traditional yellow baked rice). We all hope that this community became bigger than before, also better than before.
The first three of the speaker, Mr. Bambang, Mr. Rahmat, Mr. Hendra share their expertise on Photography, 360 photos, and Street View trusted photographer. We are so enthusiast to hear from them about it. How to improve our skill, make a good photo. Then, Mr. Budi giving a lot of tips how he became a one of Level 10 Local Guide. From little things, like drove her wife to the market, he could give a review, take photos and post it on the Maps. Also when he commute using public transport, his using his idle time to giving a review to the place he has visited.
Ms. Ria shared her experience with Google Contributor, how she became a Top Contributor and invited by Google to meet the other contributor. Now we know, not only became a Local Guide to help people out there, there is some other way.
At last, Mr. Abi told us, there is one way or another to help people out there. He became a Youtuber, internet public figure. He made a lot of videos, from giving a review to some places, until making a “How-To” video. You can see the videos has been made by him in here.
A lot of things that we didn’t know before, and after all of them share their story, we know how from little things, answering people’s question, taking photos, and make a video blog, could help a lot of people out there.This is serious stuff (30% serious, 70% laugh), but also the fun and the good ones.
We share, we laugh, we contribute, we help. We also wonder, what journey ahead will make us.
This is our anniversary story. What about yours?
