So Here I am at the Great Indian Developer Summit happening at the Indian Institute of Science , Bangalore which is a premium Developer Conference happening yearly with several tracks including Web , .net and java each happening on separate days. The Final day of the conference on saturday is purely reserved for workshops on hardcore coding allowing delegates to learn technologies of choice.
Today is the day of the .Web track that I am attending and its been a wild experience. To Summarize the experience till now in 3 words ,its been a 100% Learning , Sharing and Connecting .
Learning About Cutting Edge Technologies such as as Rich Internet Applications,Cloud Computing on Hadoop and Agile web development with Grails have been such a mind opening experience . One Particular session that got me really thinking was the session on "Re architecting the Web with Html" by Jonas Jacobi who talked about rethinking and rebuilding the way the Web functions.
GIDS has always been a great platform for sharing knowledge , the booths clearly provide a platform to know and interact with industry professionals working on cutting edge products. The Final aspect has to be about the connections formed here at the GIDS , the opportunity to connect with people to learn and share is brilliant and the networking is just great. Its been a tiring day here with lots of learning but its been a wonderful experience .
Share information over the Internet using public digital noticeboards - Google Noticeboard
From Google NoticeBoard :
Google Noticeboard is an application that helps people access and share information over the Internet using public digital noticeboards. Using Google Noticeboard, communities can access a variety of relevant information. People can create text messages or record voice snippets and post them to one or more noticeboards.
Typically each digital noticeboard carries publicly accessible messages. Compared to the notion of personal communication using email accounts, the Noticeboard metaphor allows user to engage in public communication with communities. Noticeboard is designed to be usable by all, even people with no prior computer experience. Since messages can be voice based, even literacy is not a pre-requisite.
4 Steps to Google Noticeboard :
1. Download and Install the Google Noticeboard from Google NoticeBoard Download

3.Record your audio message and select an icon to denote the subject of your message. Click Send to post message.
4.The message posted is delivered to the recipient’s Noticeboard. Click on the Play button to listen to the message.
Who is the Noticeboard for?
Communities with access to shared computers can use the Noticeboard for exchanging messages related to community announcements, social interactions, local buying and selling, and information that is of wider interest to the community. The Noticeboard may also be used for the community to engage in a dialog with benefactors, public servants, and other service providers who are geographically distant. For example, residents of an apartment complex can use the Noticeboard for posting announcements, or NGOs who own and operate computer centers in several villages can use the Noticeboard to enable village residents to communicate amongst themselves.

How does one start using the Noticeboard?
Noticeboard is a firefox extension that is installed and configured on shared computers by an operator. After the initial configuration, the Noticeboard application enables community members to exchange information over the Internet without an intermediary. As a part of the configuration, each community Noticeboard is associated with an email address and a list of contacts. Detailed installation instructions.

The shared computers used to access Noticeboard messages need Internet connectivity. The Noticeboard application tolerates intermittent or slow Internet connections. Messages that have been downloaded earlier, can be played even when Internet access is unavailable. New postings are sent out when the connection is re-established.
