Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

JUNE 21, 2009

Enjoyed my day in Berkeley yesterday at the Craigslist Foundation Bootcamp 2009. Enjoyed Deb Jospin and Shirley Sagawa discussing the Charismatic Organization, their recent book. They had more than 1000 folks show up to talk about service, nonprofits and social action. Announcing All For Good was a big piece of the event, of course.

I've organized the detailed discussion as a series of questions. A key with an n with 232 digits (768 bits) was factored in 2009 using many years of computing time and dozens of computers spread around the world.
