Event Description

We had a great meeting a couple days ago. I got to meet Sid, currently doing software development for a mainland company remotely while living here in town. It was also great to spend time with TechHui founders, Dan and Mika Leuck. Thanks so much for creating TechHui. It's been a wonderful resource.

Hope you can make the next Coworking group. I'm adding the name "Jelly" to the group. It seems that the term "coworking" can range from a situation as formal as dedicated office space where you can rent a desk to an informal gathering of independents to work together at a cafe. However, a Jelly seems definitely a more on the casual end of the spectrum. So I'll add the name "Jelly" to our group so people can understand at a glance that this is a group where you can drop in whenever you like and not have to pay for a desk.

If you can make it to our next meeting, please add a comment about what you'll be working on while at the Jelly.

Thanks again to Teddy Wells, owner of the Tropical Smoothie Cafe here in Honolulu, for hosting the group and providing free wifi internet access.

Please come. It's a great networking opportunity. You never know who you will meet. Already as a result of one of the meetings one person got a job offer!

Comment by Gabe Morris on July 12, 2008 at 12:55pm: if i can escape the office, i'll probably just waste other people's time with some ridiculous ideas that i'll never implement

Comment by Scott Murphy on July 10, 2008 at 7:54pm: Ahh, still have relatives in town. I'll catch the next one. Truman- would love to see more of your work on ascribe. Especially some of the awesome javascript.

Comment by Truman Leung on July 10, 2008 at 10:59am: I'll be working on my ever-present and never-finished project: Ascribe. Currently I'm redeveloping the events module to display a monthly calendar dynamically drawn in HTML using Javascript to grab event data with AJAX and display event particulars in a tooltip.

Comment by Stephen McMahon on July 10, 2008 at 10:57am: I'd really like to go but I won't be getting into town until late evening on the 15th. I will absolutely commit to being at the next one!
