Ten years ago, before my son Harry arrived, I volunteered as a mentor for the Computer Club House in Boston. When I use it with a large group, I do a fair amount of social engineering to ensure there is the right mix of technical experience, communications experience, and meeting facilitators. Mostly that is done in the room.

And that what’s happened with the revolution at Boston—everyone else thought we were cute and inconsequential. No one tells me what I’m supposed to learn at the library.

Add to these challenges the particular challenge of creating a national institution.
