Pacific DirectConnect, the official internet provider for the Hawaii Convention Center, and the HCC itself have really worked with us in the Aloha way to provide ample and affordable internet connection. It is one very profound way that this event is not your average […]

Posted by in Updates Comments Off on First Podcamp Hawaii T-Shirt Sighting!

How fitting and lucky for us that the very first report is submitted by the oh-so-fashionable femme, Gail Shiraishi, aka @spldrttngrl. (That's shorthand for "spoiled rotten girl" and I can tell you from first hand experience she is the complete opposite of that!) Please send us your photos. One of these days when we catch […]

Burt Lum, Neenz Faleafine, and I did an off the cuff phone interview recently and Burt generously shared the audio file with us. Give a listen to get a quick overview "all about podcamp."

Get Your Podcamp Hawaii T-Shirt!

Posted by in Updates, Welcome 2 comments

T-shirts are one of the challenges of an unconference. They cost a lot. You have to order well in advance. People end up with the wrong size. People don't show even tho you bought them a t-shirt. And it goes on and on. "But people love their t-shirts!" you say. And we agree. So we've […]
