SF Games BBQ

San Francisco Games teams got together for one Friday afternoon to celebrate everyday hard work and to get to know each other among teams (client team, server team, web team, product management, marketing, operations, etc.).

HeGe, the site manager/head of GCP (games community platform), is doing his usual speech entertaining us with bunch of jokes. People worked till noon and got together for nice outside BBQ lunch. Crissy Field is 10 minutes ride from SF office with great view of bay and golden gate bridge.

Nice chat over yummy food and drink. Nice break after long hour of work.

Good view is another reason we enjoy this BBQ area. You can see east bay (Berkeley/Oakland) from here.
**********
Jeff(IOPS), Peter(Engineering) and Chris(Testing) are chatting over beer? Mayby discussing a new way of SW release?

As usal with our BBQ, we set up and play volleyball. Best way to mingle members across different teams!

After 3 hours, we packed the area. Here is Dya and his little army of birds.

Now we plan to have open BBQ including outside of Games org. Please join us next time!

Carl's Farewell

Carl, our J2ME developer, has been pursuing his passion in location based technology. Since other organization in Nokia needs his expertise in this field, though it is sad to see him going, all of us agreed this transition. Now he will be working in Mt.View. Now it is time to celebrate his departure!

As always, our team headed for Mars Bar nearby our office for late lunch. We are enjoying sunny San Francisco weather as well as our last chat with Carl.

Hungry members got together.

"Free lunch? Really? Can I order beer? I will come!".

Difficult to gather guys for meetings but easy to get them for food or beer ;-).
