Hi Duncan,<BR> <BR>You are in a position where you can take action. Just as you suggested, please post to the discuss list, and fire up people's enthusiasm. If people are interested, get a group together and make it happen!<BR> <BR>Best,<BR>Mitch.<BR><br> <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:35:31 -0700<br>Subject: Hacking for Good: Coders and Community Workers Unite in San Francisco<br>From: duncan@justduncan.com<br>To: noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net; maltman23@hotmail.com; danny@spesh.com<br><br><div class="ecxUIImageBlock_Content ecxUIImageBlock_MED_Content ecxfsm ecxfwn ecxfcg"><div class="ecxuiAttachmentTitle"><strong><a href="http://www.good.is/post/hacking-for-good-coders-and-community-workers-unite-in-san-francisco" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hacking for Good: Coders and Community Workers Unite in San Francisco - Business - GOOD</a></strong> </div>

<br>I thought of Noisebridge when I saw this article, and how-- with some creativity, innovation, and good ole hacking-- Noisebridge could REALLY have an impact in improving the world we live in. Something like this would have clear, tangible, measureable benefits and could offer those who are homeless-- not just in SF but other cities-- assistance in helping them get back on their feet. Partnering with organizations already focusing on this would really leverage things.<br>
<br>I wish I were in a position to be able to take action on this myself, but right now I'm not. So, at the least, I thought I should share this on the discuss list; maybe it will get others thinking as much as it did for me. <br>
<br>Peace,<br><br>Duncan<br></div></div></div> </div></body>
