Note from Beth: I hosted a small army of guest bloggers, grantmakers, who attended the GeoFunders National Conference that took place last week in Seattle. The GEO community is united by a common drive to challenge the norm in pursuit of better results. It is an exciting time. The Internet is getting physical and charitable.

On my end, I might have also filtered my social graph to just my friends here in Seattle so I could buy a friend a coffee or beer while he’s helping me think about phones. I’ve taken a cut at some underlying principles and challenges of implementing Friend Discovery , but there is clearly much more work to be done on this front.

I met Van Jones about 10 years ago and he was doing criminal justice work and building the new program here, which was Police Watch, and really addressing police brutality, and we met in a Challenging White Supremacy workshop lead by Sharon Martinez back in 1995.
