Access Granted NZ

As part of sharing the Wellington podcast love here is our crossover recording with Laura Keown who graciously hosted us at the Wellington Access Radio studios where she produces the weekly B Side Stories.

"Stories from the people who make Wellington tick!

B-Side Stories takes us beyond the mainstream to celebrate the unsung heroes, rebels and enthusiasts who shape the fabric and flavour of Wellington, New Zealand.

B-Side Stories is aired every Tuesday from 5-6 pm on Wellington Access Radio."

It was both illuminating to hear why Laura has taken on and grown the show, what it's like to have actual equipment, and how much swearing is allowed.

Together with Brenda Wallace and Amber Craig, Hiria Te Rangi have created Whare Hauora with one mission and one mission only, "An Aotearoa, where your home, does not make you sick."

It started a few years ago and we are proud to be sharing Hiria's own story just as Whare Hauora launches into two key pilots, and gears up for a public release of their sensors via a PledgeMe campaign: http://www.wharehauora.nz/preorder-1/

Start-ups are hard, actually making a difference is tough, and doing it with open and transparent principles could mean it was a step too far - but not with Hiria and the team, they are determined and Whare Hauora *is* going to help bring health to all Kiwis.

It took 24 hours for 10 teams competing in the first ever international ActInSpace hackathon to come together, produce a thing and pitch before an esteemed set of judges ... and they did it!

Te Mārama won first prize, a trip to Toulouse where they go head-to-head with all other international winners! Apart from the trip on the 'vomit comet' + support and IP, they are up for so much networking with ALL the big players in the space industry it's almost frightening.

Te Mārama, whose startup idea will reduce the amount of repairs that humans do in space by cost effectively using VR to control repair robots remotely, is made of five team members – Mahima Seth (Auckland), Ben Tairea (Wellington), Maddy King (Wellington), Zeus Engineer (Christchurch) and Jonah Belk (Dunedin).

SUPPORT OUR KIWI TEAM!
The team fly out this weekend (23rd June) and they need YOU to be right behind them at the final on 27th June!

Maru Nihoniho chats around her passion for storytelling, game making, and how to make the leap from one industry into another.

After listening with Maru I think we can all agree that the journey to games developer has, for Maru, been one of the highest adventure, courage, and certainly following her dream. We salute and thank you Maru for showing the way.

AND, watch out The Guardian, coming to a games console near you VERY soon ...

Paul Fraser, Advisory Director at EY, and Mike have been mates since the old days (hence the photo, that was NOT taken at the recording) and were key in the growth of Wave Adept and the subsequent acquisition by Cloud Sherpas.

However, they come at life with a very differing view point with Paul focussing very much on services (Mike is more of a product person) and with this talk we hear about the good, bad, and sometimes difficult sides of services and consulting thereof.

Paul is also a non-user of social media, so you're just gonna have to email him :)

AG show stars Kate Henderson and Kai Koenig, came along with their fellow organising buddy, Nick Parfene, to let us all know about the 3rd annual Mobile Refresh conference in Wellington on September 7th.

They are keen to get the word out, especially the call for 'papers', ie, are you up for giving a talk. It can be anything to do with mobile development, deployment, marketing, and, getting the apps into people's hands to make a difference.

They are particularly keen to maintain and increase their diversity of speakers, especially women which we wholeheartedly support!

Note: this is a platform agnostic event designed for ANY mobile developers, be that iOS, Android, or mobile webapps!

Day 4, and after a narrow escape from a sticky AirNZ created situation, the team were back live on Facebook - brilliant work from the lads, Jono, and Courteney!

We review the day, Courtney gives her thoughts on the morning's speakers and we're in and out of your ears as fast as a rabbit, being hunted by the quick fox.

See you all in Christchurch tomorrow for the final day of #TechweekTV: https://www.facebook.com/TechweekNZ/
