Hey there everybody. Hope you are enjoying your first day of Summer. People are asking me about the next Bytemarks lunch and I was struggling with the best place to have it. Well, the YWCA seems to still be the favorite. I like the outdoors and the courtyard area is so conducive to conversation. But remember, buy a lunch nearby or bring your lunch. Here’s the details.

Date: Friday, June 27, 2008
Place: YWCA, Courtyard (our favorite place) (Map)
1040 Richards St
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
Time: 11:30am

Bring your web stories and gadgets.

Aloha,
Burt

Found via UH Business IP Forum Event on TechHui

Time: June 24, 2008 from 6pm to 8pm
Location: Manoa Innovation Center, 2nd Floor Large Conference Room (Manoa Innovation Website, Google Map)
Street: 2800 Woodlawn Drive
City/Town: Honolulu, HI
Contact Info: +1 (808) 429-6600
Event Type: Forum
Organized By: San Joseph & Daniel Leuck

The UH Business IP Forum is intended as an opportunity for University of Hawaii researchers to present their latest ideas to the local business community. University of Hawaii researchers regularly generate intellectual property in the form of patents. The University of Hawaii can provide exclusive rights to these patents, licensing them to individual business or consortia for the purpose of generating revenue. In the first instance the forum will start with presentations from UH researchers from the Ubiquitous Wireless Computing research group from the department of Information and Computer Sciences. The presentations will generally be short in order to allow plenty of time for discussion. As well as getting feedback on the potential licensability of existing patents, UH researchers will be looking for input from the business community on what technologies and techniques could be developed for the mutual benefit of both academia and business.

The UH Business IP Forum is lead by Sam Joseph. Sam is the project lead for the Ubiquitous and Wireless Computing project in the Laboratory for Interactive Learning Technologies in the University of Hawaii Department of Information and Computer Sciences. He has brought in over $3,000,000 in industry grants over the last year and now runs a team of 10 researchers developing new IP in the fields of Ubiquitous and Wireless Computing.

Sam’s academic qualifications include a B.Sc. (Hons) in astrophysics from the University of Leicester, UK, a M.Sc. in cognitive science and natural language and a Ph.D. in neural networks from the University of Edinburgh, UK. He was also recipient of the Raymond-Hide prize for Astrophysics and a Toshiba Fellowship.

Sam spent six years in Japan, first working on intelligent agents at the Toshiba Research & Development Center, then freelancing for startup companies, and finally on peer-to-peer systems at the University of Tokyo.

Dinner and a Movie with Tech Oahu - June 17th, 2008
Tuesday June 17th, 2008
6:00 PM

Oceanit (Map - Parking is $2 after 4 p.m.)
828 Fort Street Mall
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813-4321

Come hang out for Dinner & a Movie with Tech Oahu at 6 p.m. on Tuesday June 17, 2008 at Oceanit.

We’ll be watching two great presentations discussing usability and user feedback and have time after them to eat and discuss.

A great big thanks to Ian Kitajima (@ikitajima) and Oceanit for hosting us. Please RSVP to ssavara [at] hotmail [dot] com to help us plan.

Our tech-centric presentation for this instance is by Paul Buchheit, founder of FriendFeed and creator of GMail, discussing how to listen to your users (video from Startup School 08). In his talk, Paul talks about some of the challenges in getting accurate user feedback, how to parse user feedback, and how to build a successful web application by focusing on features users want.

We’ll pair this with a non tech video from TED, where Malcolm Gladwell gets inside the food industry’s pursuit of the perfect spaghetti sauce. It’s a fascinating story about parsing user feedback from surveys and the story of Ragu versus Prego, and the different way they approached targeting customers.

There will be plenty of time following the presentations to eat, hang out, and discuss the presentations or other tech subjects and/or usability concerns. Feel free to invite a friend and we looking forward to seeing you there!

Bring $5 if you want pizza; drinks are free!

Aloha geeks! Happy to say the next Manoa Geeks meetup is around the corner. On a personal note, we [founder Aaron Dragushan and family] are moving to Washington DC at the end of June so this will be my last one before we go. But Manoa Geeks will keep on rollin’, more updates on that later!

General Overview:
- Introductions: A quick zip around the room
- Presentations: Got something you’d like to show people?
- Eat Pizza: Talk Story
- Guided Discussion: What’s going on in the web world?
- More Talk Story, (and maybe go out for drinks)

A big mahalo to Ian Kitajima and Oceanit for hosting us and feeding us pizza. You can find Ian at @ikitajima on Twitter, and Oceanit is at http://www.oceanit.com/
