Co-organizer here. This is the first time we do the event in Kobe city itself (last time we were around it was on the outskirts), so we expect this location to be more convenient for everyone.

We'll have several presentations:

- How to make (simple) custom electronics (to work with Arduino)

- Overview of the Open Pandora 1Ghz version, Pocket Gaming Linux Computer

- Presentation of a couple of new mobile/web apps

- The making of a Speed Reading application

If you are around on the 31st please join us and we plan for a place to have a drink after as well.

Awesome, sound very interesting topics! Are you uploading the presentation somewhere?

We are organizing the Shanghai Hacker News (come if you want) and are starting to move to a more formal approach than just drinking beers and speaking around. I can you have the kind of things that could be good food for thoughts.

One more thing - while I cannot promise that it will be there, one of us will try to bring a Occulus Rift for demonstration so if you attend there's a good chance you can try it :)

Cool! I will try to make this. Who is doing the speed reading presentation? Coincidently, I just gave a presentation on a speed reading application I developed at a conference in April. I'm interested in hearing another take on it.
