First off this weeks Thinktech hawaii Radio show will be featuring Dr. Gordon Jones, Dean of the College of Professional Studies. We will be discussing what HPU is doing to help form a legitimate Tech Industry here in Hawaii. Included in the discussion is a piece on the new Freer Center.
Secondly, after our interview I asked Dr. Jones about Open Source and how big of a part is it playing in their techings. He lit up like a light bulb. He wrote a whitepaper about 10 years ago on the coming power of Open Source. They actually have incorporated it into the teachings their. I went a little further and asked him about putting together non-credit courses and he was very interested. He wants to discuss with the group here how we can work together to make this happen for the Spring Semester. Anybody interested should shoot me an email. Thanks, Maddog
