Subject: Re: Hawaii and Post PS:1 Check in

For the Maui Makers folks, come over for thursday evening meeting if you want to meet them.. I will be in Houston for the symposium

As for the Oahu folks, I have cc'd their google group on this message.  
I'm not sure who is the most active contact over there at this point. If you dont get an email response, hit em up via their web site.

pardon my brevity - i've got a head cold and changing altitudes messes me up big (beach-home =1200ft)

Thanks for the awesomely quick and informative response. Yes, I am currently on Oahu with my cofounder - working on some day job & start up stuff - and we would love to get in contact with anyone on the island this week.

Do you recommend I hit up the Oahu hackerspace via their webpage or would you have a more direct method?

Thanks again Jerry.

And if you are ever in San Diego please drop me a line. I've really enjoyed all the experience and friendships attained on my traveling tour to hackerspaces while setting up a location in San Diego.

Aloha Jerad

If I read this right you are starting a space in San Diego, and working someone from Oahu - and perhaps are on Oahu yourself?
The Oahu (Honolulu) space would be Hi-Capacity.  I gave them a kick to start the space a couple years ago.
They are a very active group with deep connections in the City 2.0 initiatives.
They have a good google group and web site  http://hicapacity.org/

I'm heading off island for a week or so (houston tx and 100Yr StarShip Symposium) but my compatriots here on Maui would be happy to meet you next thursday evening...

Hi Jerad,

I'm cc-ing Jerry Isdale on this email.  Jerry is the founder of Maui Makers hackerspace.  Jerry is another person who makes cool things happen!

Jerry -- Jerad is starting a hackerspace in San Diego, and it would be really cool if you could show him Maui Makers while he's there.

Jared -- FYI, I'll be mostly in town till I leave for Europe for about a month starting mid-October (to give a talk at TEDxBrussels, and give a bunch of workshops at hacker conferences and hackerspaces).  Then I'm in town for about a month before going to Europe again in mid-December (to go to 29C3, the annual huge Chaos Congress in Germany, and give workshops at hackerspaces).  So, come to SF when I'm here.  It'll be great to show you around Noisebridge and SF.

Cheers,
Mitch.

Hey Mitch,

The afternoon with Jordan at the Pumping Station was more fruitful than I had imagined. Listening to his stories and insights has no doubt saved us much time and will allow us to better focus our energies on the more important matters.
Best of all, seeing such a thriving community was very inspiring. Jordan was also very perceptive of the uniqueness of our situations including our direction and origin as a hackerspace.

I am currently working on a start-up with one of the hackerspace's cofounders in Hawaii. I looked up two spaces, one of which is on our island of Oahu, while browsing hackerspaces.org.
Would you by chance have any contacts of interest in Hawaii while we are here?

We both return to San Diego on the 17th of September when, after a presentation at UCSD's CalIT2, Matias and I begin an exciting endeavor utilizing the Hackerspace's resources to construct a pitching robot for the San Diego Science and Engineering association for K-12 involvement.

Also, still working on finding a new date for San Francisco and NoiseBridge - After visiting PS:1 I am eager to visit as many spaces as I can. Its so great to see people coming together to pursue such great things out of passion and intrigue.

-Jerad

It works!
It's not really apparent on our page on how to reach us, besides twitter/facebook. I'll get that fixed. In the mean time, you can email ma...@hicapacity.org. It'll email a few of us who volunteer to help run the space.
