I've been living here for a while. I do IT support for a couple of non-profits. I'm not interested in meeting in person but if you open a chatroom or something I might show up there.

#12Are you part of the Shakas Network? Is anyone attending the XR Meetup Saturday?
There’s a lot of us, good gender ratio, mix of startups and FAANG. It’s been great. Been here for two months, my immediate crew is ~40 people.

Is this the Movers and Shakas program (reimbursement for moving to Hawaii)? I would love to e-meet you all! I actually moved here before the program existed :) Is there maybe a chat I could join?

#14Fast track in covid-19 times: 1. Start a chat channel upfront and announce it here (discord, matrix riot element, signal, etc...) With dedicated and announced times for project e-meetup 2. See which hacker space are active if any 3. Maybe plan physical meet up in outdoor setting, easy for HI as it's hot weather. Don't become the next covid-19 cluster It's always random how some communities work and some other don't.…
Thanks for this! Definitely do not want to spread COVID; I think a group chat is the move

It is, but for those who weren’t accepted there is a small “Shakas Network” of about 7,000 people.
Of those, there are 300 active on Oahu and ~40 that I mentioned who actually like to hang out, work on stuff, get drinks and party. We’re actually going to SKY and The Hideout for drinks tonight.
