Hawaii Geek Week

Well, we just had another wonderful and successful Hawaii Geek Week, that culminated with LCC and HMAUS’ big show yesterday; Geek Day and Mactoberfest. Lots of people attended all the events. Lots of learning, sharing, and discussions on a wide variety of great topics.

Thanks to all those who participated! Hopefully you’ll check out some of the wonderful resources and groups around town — including Leeward Community College, Hawaii MacIntosh & Apple User Society, Techhui, or others.

And, of course a HUGE thanks to all those people who put this together — extra special thanks to Joan Matsukawa (HMAUS) and Christian Ganne (LCC)!

If you have any photos, stories, or tips, be sure to let us know so we can make next year’s even better! Contact here, HMAUS, Twitter, or Techhui. And don’t forget to join HMAUS as a member so you’ll be able to help make 2010’s Hawaii Geek Week as exciting and diverse as this years!
