Thanks to everyone who could make it out the Programming meetup at Petals and Beans on Saturday July 30th. It was our largest meet up yet!

For those of you that were unable to make it, we announced upcoming projects and events. We need everyone interested to get involved!

Projects

• StreetGrindz Food Truck Locator - We are working with StreetGrindz to create a web application, iPhone, and Android mobile apps to help customers find some grindz. We are planning to release next month and need your help with improvements.
• Safecast - We want to help Safecast with an iPhone geiger meter reader as well as help them improve their web application.
• Tsunami Inundation Zones - There is currently a need to have mobile applications inform users if they are currently in a Tsunami inundation zone. iPhone and Android mobile apps are planned to be developed.
• National Cancer Institute Contest - The National Cancer Institute is holding a competition from July 21 - August 26 to build an application (web or mobile) using public data to boost cancer awareness/protection. Peter Justeson from IDGA is leading this effort.

• Node.js Knockout - HI Capacity is fielding 2 teams in this hot, global competition. Ryan Kanno describes the competition here better than I ever will.
• Node.js Talk with Aloha.rb - James Wang (@synthes1s) will be giving a talk on Node.js. Please RSVP for the event.
• Startup Weekend - Ever wanted to pitch an idea, build something amazing, and get funded? Startup Weekend is exactly what you've been looking for! Danielle Scherman from Social Wahines is organizing the event. You can sign up at: Startup Weekend Honolulu

It’s that time again! IGDA Honolulu is happy to announce the next Board Game Night!

Monday, August 8th 7pm - 11pm Petals & Beans 1288 Ala Moana Boulevard

As always, we’ll provide a selection of games, but don’t let that stop you from bringing your own favorites.

Feel free to RSVP on our Facebook page. Hope to see you there!

If you dream of Hadokens and Shoryukens, then this, my friend, is your weekend.

Make sure to follow the progress of HI Capacity’s own, James Wang (@synthes1s), as he competes against the top 1800 Super Street Fighter IV players in the world at Evo 2K in Las Vegas, from Friday, July 29th through Sunday, July 31.

What’s Evo?

Taken directly from their FAQ,

Evo (short for Evolution) is the world's largest fighting game event. Going on for now over a decade, Evo is the must-attend event for fighting game fans and competitors all over the world. Over three days, Evo hosts a variety of fighting game tournaments, exhibitions, and a free-play area where gamers can compete, meet up, and generally have a good time.

Make sure to follow the live streams at Evo 2K to see how James (wangbus / Leviathan are his handles) does throughout the tournament. If you’re a hardcore gamer, make sure to check out Nocturna Lounge on Friday to watch live streams of the event -> RSVP here!

Go James! :D
