Good Day Everyone.
It’s my pleasure to announce you that we held our second Local Guides Meetups in Douala last Saturday 3rd November evening at Complexe Frulatti. Despite the timid beginning of activities, we started with individual presentations of the participant : Myself..., Claudia Aboudi, level 5 local guide at the center of the picture below and Minette Lontsie, level 7 local guide at the right.
After presentation, I took the floor to share my experience about my recent participation to the 2018 connect live event. we discussed about oifferent aspect of connect live event and activities held during those three days in San Francisco. Knowing that I’m under a NDA signed, I told them that I was not able to go further in explications about google product and encourage them to use Local Guide Connect platform if they have any question or interrogations regarding Google Maps or Google innovations solutions.
As you can see on the picture, it’s was also an occasion for me to share my gifts with participants. They were so happy to receive those gifts. Thank you to connect live team who provided me those donations.
It’s was also the occasion to talk about following topic.
- Google Maps. We discussed about difficulties to add missing places to the maps.
- Google Maps Review: Importance of adding objective review and introduction of hashtags for particular review topics. Encouragements were made to avoid SPAM review and avoid adding.
- Google Street View. The THETA V camera was presented to participant. The possibility to borrow this camera to fellow community member was highlighted.
- Local Guides Connect Platform. Encouragements were made to participants to use this platform to share their knowledge, ask question to Googler or find solution about their inquiries.
- Local Guides Meetups. We exchanged about meetup organization. Importance of regular meetup organization and the possibility of organizing a meetup in Edea (town situated a few kilometers from Douala).
We rounded up discussions at 18:30 because of the dark, we were not able to go for a Photowalk as announced in the meetup agenda.
The date of the November 25, 2018 was chosen for the next Photowalk meetup. Details of this meetup will be communicated in local guide connect website.
