This is a pau hana for those interested in tech on the west side of Hawaii Island.  This month, the presentation comes from the "food for thought" department.  Ulrich Bonne will discuss battery-backed photovoltaics, and why distributing energy storage around the island's grid could be good for individuals and for HELCO as well.  I hope we can start a lively discussion afterwards.Presenter: Ulrich BonneTopic: Battery-backed photovoltaics RSVP so we can plan for the number of people.Request:…See More

It's close! I regularly fly to Honolulu to join meetings. There have just been date conflicts. The June meeting I'll be on an Alaskan cruise and the August meeting I'll be at Inbound 2012 in Boston. I'm really going to try to make the July meeting!

I think I prefer Facebook events better. But, either way is cool.

I put the July meeting in my calendar, and it looks like you're doing them the 4th Monday of the month?

Yea!

Two whole friends on TechHui! Super excited!  Thanks Rod. I really want to come down for a tech get-together, but the scheduling just hasn't worked out yet.

Hi Rod-

The 24th would work fine. Just let me know the logistics, head count(approx), time, etc.

Mahalo,

Jim
