Hope all is going well at Geek Day!

I wanted to remind everyone about next Saturday's Unconferenz. Last year's event inspired no fewer than three sessions about the maker movement, including one devoted to laying the ground work for the Honolulu Mini Maker Faire! A distributed team gets a lot done, but there's nothing like face-to-face conversation and collaboration.

Burt and I would love to see a solid contingent of local makers at this year's Unconferenz, both to get in some good planning time two weeks out from March 15, and to spread the word among a very diverse group of like-minded creators, developers, designers and educators to attend and bring their own communities to ‘Iolani for the big day.

Promo code "makeorbreak" will save you $5 off the already modest $27 registration, which includes refreshments and lunch:

Mahalo, and Imua!

Here's a couple of quick updates and calls to action:

1. The latest count on the eventbrite site is 103.  Please encourage people to sign up for the event so that we can get an accurate headcount:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/honolulu-mini-maker-faire-tickets-10482031037
2. We also need to make sure everyone who is planning to have a booth or hold a workshop at the event register through our call for makers:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEpmV2NjeUxVLXpscEUtNzRKd2p6Z1E6MA.  That should take you 5 minutes to fill out, and we need that information to include in our marketing efforts to reach out to both potential attendees and sponsors.
3. We'll also be sending out information for volunteers shortly.  We are going to use Iolani's housekeeping and security crew, so the main thing we need to support is assistance in helping people setup and tear down, and for volunteer ambassadors to answer questions and direct people where to go.  
4. We're still looking for someone to help wrangle some food vendors.  We have a list of potential vendors that have done events at Iolani, but we need someone able to send some emails and make some phone calls over the next few days.  If you can help out, please contact Alan or I.
5. We will have a booth at the Entrepreneur's day event at the Capital from 10 am - 2 pm.  If you can break away to spend some time there, please let us know.  http://invest.hawaii.gov/hi-growth-entrepreneurs-day
6. Finally, there's another great event occurring on 1 March, the annual Unconferenz:  

   The Unconferenz mantra is to Invent : Inspire : Innovate. It's a grassroots Technology/Internet gathering of individuals across the community to foster sharing and interaction amongst its participants. The Unconferenz is really what you make it. 

Date: Saturday, March 1, 2014
