Hong Kong has several vibrant, English-speaking startup/hacker communities where people are passionate about building stuff and making things work.

Some notable communities to checkout:

http://codeaholics.hk/ - Technology agnostic programming community

http://www.startupshk.com/ - A tight-knit startup community

http://boot.hk/ - A great gathering place for hackers and builders.

See you in Hong Kong!

Right on! Leon, I'm connected to the HK startup folks (founders of StartUps HK and Boot) there as well. Feel free to ping. Here is their FB group which most communication is done: https://www.facebook.com/groups/startupshk/ It's a closed group but I could add you.

Hi Thomas and dhkl, thanks a lot for the resources, will look into this and get in touch, that's very useful! :)

Is the group still active? My request's been on pending for a while now :-(

Group is very active. I think they require people to physically show up to their Startup Monday event to be added to the group. Ping me offline and I could connect you to the group organizers. Or tweet them at: http://twitter.com/startupshk

I'm one of the founders. For the FB group we try to keep it the immediate community active members. Send me a message on FB and let me know who you are.

One other problem we run into on FB is that people use random photos and user names so we have no idea who half of them are, even if we have met the people before.

ya the group is very active. maybe you can ping the group owner directly as it's a closed group :)

Also we have a hackerspace: http:www.dimsumlabs.com

I'm one of the founders for all of the above, in one role or another.
