This year promises to be a one full of opportunities and possibilities for Nigerian Software Developers, Web Entrepreneurs and Technology enthusiasts alike.

On Thursday 21^st January, 2010, Google through its Africa’s blog officially announced G-Nigeria Day, 2010.

We are happy to announce that our largest G-Africa event yet, G-Nigeria 2010, will be held February 18 – 20 at the University of Lagos.

It’s a welcome development, as I see it as an opportunity for software developers and entrepreneurs to intimate themselves of Google products and tools, in order to enhance productivity.

The event will be taking place from the 18^th – 20^th of February at the Afe Babalola Hall of the University of Lagos, Akoka.

Day 1 is going to be for Software Developers, where developers will be exposed to the latest Google technologies and hands-on codelabs.

Day 2 is for Marketing Professionals and Entrepreneurs, where Google would demonstrate its business products that can help spur innovation and entrepreneurship in this region.

Day 3 if for Computer Science Students, to cover existing Google student outreach programs and opportunities.

It’s going to be a great event and an eye-opener of sort for developers, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts alike.

PS: Other events not to miss this year:

Technology Outlook 2010 (coming up in February 2nd – 4th)

I would like to start up this blog, by giving Google Wave Invites to those who may still want it.

What is Google Wave, you may wonder:

Google Wave has been causing waves around the internet for some time now, especially after its launch by Google in September, 2009 and a search on Twitter shows its still a trending topic.

Google Wave as defined on its about page is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

There has been so much on what a Wave is, when to use it and how to use it. These links below provides more infos/tips on the importance of Google Wave:

• About Google Wave
• Mashable Google Wave Guide
• Mashable Google Wave Guide 2
• Complete Wave Guide

To experience Google Wave faster, its better to be sent an invite by someone already on the wave – so going back to what this post is about, I still have some invites to dole out, so if interested – leave a comment (be sure to leave your email addy) below and I will send an invite to you as soon as possible.

On the other hand, if you are already on the WAVE, lets connect @ naijawebgeek- AND please be kind enough to drop your comment on your experience on Google Wave so far.

Thanks and Welcome to NaijaWebGeek.
