  1. Scott Kennedy - Building Real Community Software
    Local activist Scott Kennedy shows off his homemade electronic bulletin board, and discusses how and why he built it. he also asks what he should do with his new software.

    The Grameen Foundation (started the Nobel Peace Prize winning Grameen Bank and Mohammed Yunus) is building an open source software platform for the global microfinance industry with an aim to help people get out of poverty. Project head and local Seattlite will discuss the difficulties of building this platform and what they’ve learned so far.
  3. Jesse Robbins - WikiProgress & Gross National Happiness (GNH)
  4. HB Siegel (IMDB) - Werewolf Strategy
