That's why it's heartening to read an article like this in the Christian Science Monitor, Russia rights groups get help from unlikely champion: Microsoft. piracy human rights Patrick Ball intellectual property Microsoft social justice Russia epiracyPatrick Ball and I have often discussed the risks to social justice groups from using unlicensed proprietary software.

I’m here to teach a class at the NGO Masterschool for Nonprofits this week and will be sharing some with you, my readers, about what fundraising is like in non-communist Russia. Tags: Fundraising in Russia It’s 10:00 am here in Moscow. I’m sure my family is asleep back home (where it’s about 2 am!). I’m thrilled that I’ve successfully navigated the Russian interface here in the hotel lobby to be able to log in and post on my blog!

Outside of Russia and most of Asia, Facebook (the blue countries) is now the main player. I recently came across a world map of social media on the Vincos Blog. I really enjoy their post because it shows you the gradual change in social networks in different parts of the world. Only three years ago you can see that there are many different social networks dominating in different countries. As social networks have matured and the weaker networks have faded away, you can see what is left.

Developer Trubnikov: Russia classifies beer as alcoholic. Only in Russia would anything less than 10% be called food. :). One of my favorite, periodic events during the morning commute is when I catch Nina Totenberg’s recap of the previous day’s Supreme Court proceedings. I love how she says each Justice’s name and then their comments. Maybe I just love Nina Totenberg. Regardless, today I offer you my Toten-version of the Buzz at Beaconfire on Russian beer.

So far, Metro4All has apps for 14 cities in Russia and other countries in Europe. It is now a diverse international group with team members in Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, and the U.S. Ever since the Independent Living Movement began to emerge in the 1960s to empower people with disabilities, more and more of the world has become accessible. Subways and metro stations remain a problem. Someone in a wheelchair often has no way of knowing what obstacles await — until now.

Both our Kanter/Canter last names came from Russia. I learned that the Canters came from Russia but immigrated to England first, not to the US like the Kanters did. Meet Marc Canter. I'm not sure if we are related or not. Marc told me that he owns the domain name canter.com which is devoted to the family history of all Canters, Kanters, Cantors, or Kantors. The Canter name was originally Canterosky, but had to be shortened.

This seems to be a particular problem in former communist countries, such as China, where the first nonprofit and non-governmental organizations and foundations were created by the government in the 1980s and 1990s, and Russia, where the first government-run charitable institutions were created in 1987, but the sector is still hampered by the legacy of communism. The legacy of this situation "poisoned the whole notion of volunteering in Russia for many years.".

Keyes notes some early examples of how the Movements.org crowdsourcing model is working: Activists in Russia connecting with a songwriter in New York to compose a catchy song for their cause. David Keyes is very clear that the mission of Movements.org and in fact all of the Advancing Human Rights programs is to empower human rights activists in closed societies like Russia, China, Iran, Syria, and North Korea.
