Keetup Development

Develop social networks is no easy task. In fact, I was convinced it was difficult. Without emargo there platforms and tools to do it more easily. This does not mean that developing a network is a nonsense. In fact, a user like me (halfway between a novice and an expert) would be hard to build one.

Elgg is a platform developed for social networking without complications, with modules of users, blog, wall, photos, labels and many other tasks that make the task very comfortable.

One of the things that surprised me when I met elgg is the facility that exists, once mounted the network to manage and use. There is also the elgg community where you can always find tools, plugins, tips and help that can solve problems quickly.

The warmth and the friendliness of the interface makes it, to my taste, superior to other platforms like BuddyPress or NING. If you're planning to build your own network and understanding to use social networks but you know nothing about to create them, then Elgg is an excellent option to consider, no matter how much you know about development, systems or platforms. No matter if you're halfway between a novice and an expert like me.

I never had attended a Barcamp, much less a BarcampLitoral. In fact, until two years ago did not know it existed.

If I go back further in time, I have to be honest and say that six years ago did not know what php, html, googlegroups, delicious and a long list of etceteras. Keetup not even exist. But those evil beings that live behind me evangelized screens, installed in my notebook kde, openoffice and without knowing I was getting into the poison of binary code.

Today, not only know what is the BarcampLitoral, but it also expected it, answered my questions (it is difficult for someone to answer your questions more silly when you're not the bat), I attended the talks and I hope the next year with more commitment and willing to receive and give more in a growing community that can fill tents and summon more than 1800 people.

Today, not only know that I can improvise a speech, but it also exists to give her space and, no papers, no computers, no nothing. It's just to say "I want to do and say." Barcamp is responsible for giving you the space and tools. I have only words of gratitude to all organizers, sponsors and Keetup, where I was brought up in this world so descontracurado who love nerds and, above all, the geeks.
