Yesterday, I met with rep Marumoto about how Linux could save the state
megabucks, enhance the local economy, and deal with the landfill
problem. She was very interested and asked for another meeting so she
could include computer savvy people on her staff. I mentioned that some
HOSEF people might be interested also. Anyone?

Wow, this is EXCITING! (I apoligize for not trimming the quoted

too valuable.)
Yesterday, I had breakfast with Honolulu city councilman Rod Tam, who
chairs the city council's business development committee. He
indicated that he will push a proposal aimed at making Honolulu the
"Linux capital of the world" (as part of the multi-billion-dollar
Kaka'ako Waterfront development project). Don't laugh at this idea.
Let's face it, what other options do we have?
