I'd love to see a Gov 2.0 session. There's so much room in Hawaii for technology to improve the way government works.

I'd love a Government 2.0 session too, disclaimer I work for the company behind ehawaii.gov and a number of related sites for the state; but aside from that I'm also very interested in the government transparency through technology that we're seeing from states like New York and Oregon.

Great ideas being proposed. I like the Gov. 2.0 topic. Maybe we can get some folks from the Abercrombie administration to join in the discussion.

that would be perfect. Folks from Grassroots Institute just released a http://hawaiisunshine.org/, a transparency site. Perhaps a panel with Abercrombie folks, Paul's company, Grassroots, etc might be really fun.

Hey guys hope you don't mind if I make some suggestions and ideas that I think may spark conversation and gauge interest.

Deep Tech

• Node JS - Server Side JS
• Databases - The NoSQL movement (versus Relational Databases)

Evangelism

• TDD - Test Driven Development - Double the cost? What are the Benefits.
• Lean Startups - What is customer development?
• Ramen Profitability (Prototyping before looking for $)

Accessible Topics

• HTML 5 and CSS3

Mobile

• Mobile Development - Native vs. Platform (Titanium Appcelerator, Sencha Touch, PhoneGap, jquery mobile), Building vs. Outsourcing, iPhone vs Android, iPad vs Tablets
• Future of Mobile? Android is currently outpacing iPhone activations. With Windows Mobile on the horizon could it unseat Blackberry or will RIM's OS 6 and Pad keep them relevant
• Location Based Services -- (HTML5, Google)
• Push Notifications - UrbanAirship, Twil.io

Maybe even provide a Project Showcase and short user-testing, hack session?

• Chrome appstore
• Google app engine
• Micropayments
• Robotics

If anyone is interested, I would be more than willing to willing to talk about the global game jam (http://globalgamejam.org/), and show of the wonderful and really experimental games that are made there, many of which defy the standard terminology for what a game is.
