This is really exciting and important. 

I wonder if there are there any events/meetups we could attend in the Bay Area (or elsewhere) about this? Would love to get hands on with devices and meet the people who are as interested in this as we are.

And here's a guide for building apps for all environments: https://developers.google.com/billions/

I'll dig in more after this research sprint to roll up some of their findings, but wanted to share.
