Last night was Saturday night, and even for us techie nerd-geeks (new classification), it also serves as party night. The collective minds behind the advent of Android are no exception to this long-standing nightly routine: they tore down the house and our little mascot was the guest of honor.
A party is a party, though, and sometimes you don’t need a real reason to have one. It does make me wonder, however (warning: speculation ahead): what could’ve happened to trigger it? It’s entirely plausible that the team just wanted to have a good time for the general success of their platform, but the eager beaver in me questions: is Froyo just about finished?
We’re expecting to see Froyo at this year’s Google I/O conference on May 19th, so it’s possible that they could be celebrating the final beta stage leading up to its early summer arrival date. Or they could just be wanting a good time, who knows? Check out other photos of the party from Android Engineer (and hopeful photographer) Romain Guy here.
[Update]: It was indeed just a party. Specifically, the Android team held their annual BBQ. Nothing to see here, let’s all move along.
