Guatemala struggles to find war crimes justice

2007-03-05T13:24:00.000-08:00

Two good articles recently covered the Guatemala secret police archive project that we are supporting. Guatemala struggles to find war crimes justice was in the San Francisco Chronicle, and captures the personal side of this work. Many people want to know what happened to those who disappeared in Guatemala's civil war.

ITworld.com's Digging for the truth quotes Benetech's Tamy Guberek and notes that our Martus software is being used in the project. Finally, it notes the time pressure that often accompanies our projects. This project is supposed to be completed this year, and only a fraction of the 80 million documents will have been touched. What will happen after that is a very interesting open question.

Global Alliance for ICT and Development

2007-03-04T15:36:00.000-08:00

Last week I attended a meeting of the Global Alliance for ICT and Development (GAID), which was subtitled "UN Meets Silicon Valley." The goal of the meeting was to talk about ways to advance crucial goals of the UN with help from the technology community, especially poverty reduction.

The people in attendance were good, and I had many exciting conversations. The chair of the effort is Craig Barrett, Intel's chairman. My main concern is that the outputs seemed to be focused on predictable Silicon Valley lobbying objectives, which went under the label of creating an enabling environment. This means getting rid of telecom monopolies, competition based on open standards, adequate intellectual property protections and so on. Don't get me wrong, I think that these lobbying objectives are actually correct: the poor will probably be better off if these things happen. but, it did seem indirectly connected to poverty reduction, improved education and improved health.

One of the key points made repeatedly was that the Global Alliance for ICT and Development has no money. In spite of that, it would be great if GAID could outline some big ideas about using ICTs to make real impact on the global poor. A cogent vision could mobilize some substantial resources. I've decided to work on this, not as an alternative to the enabling environment goals but to complete them. So, watch this space for an essay on what GAID could really do. My focus will be on commitments to creating local content and delivering fundamental access to technology and content.

Tech Entrepreneur Helps Blind To Read

2007-02-23T15:33:00.000-08:00

We just got terrific coverage from CBS Evening News of our Bookshare.org project. It is really exciting when a news team takes the time to dig in and understand the story. Our team is thrilled about the piece, and we're getting lots of phone calls and email as a result.

I think this is the first time we have had national coverage of Bookshare.org, which turned five years old this week! The CBS team came to Palo Alto, as well as filming a Bookshare.org-using couple, Brian Miller and his wife Priscilla McKinley, in the Washington D.C. area. The entire three and a half minute piece is up on the CBS News site: Bookshare Scans Books And Converts Them To Braille Or Audio For Immediate Access.

Thanks to our team and volunteers!

GetaFirstLife.com and Linden Labs

2007-02-18T18:48:00.000-08:00

Second Life, the on-line parallel universe, is a controversial topic. Some folks are fanatical about it, and it's touching a lot of real world places. I was wandering by Second Life interviews onsite at Davos. At the same time, I have heard that it is overhyped and that the number of participants is exaggerated.

But, hearing something like the following story makes me feel good about Linden Labs, the folks that operated Second Life. Someone started a parody website called GetaFirstLife.com and the reaction of Linden Labs was to send a trademark approval letter! This runs so counter to the normal overreaching of trademark and copyright owners, like the NFL's attempt to stop a law professor from posting the snippet from the Super Bowl showing how ridiculous their copy right claims were as explained on Techdirt: DMCA Takedown For Professor Showing How Copyright Owners Exaggerate Their Rights.

Missing Gustavo

2007-02-14T18:25:00.000-08:00

One of our employees suddenly passed away from natural causes, and we are all very sad here. I sent the following note to the Bookshare.org members and volunteers and received many, many emails expressing condolences and dismay.

To the Bookshare.org community:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I inform you that Gustavo Galindo passed away suddenly Sunday. Gustavo was the Site Manager for Bookshare.org, and was the foundation of our Bookshare.org team. He was involved in the rapid growth of our collection over the last four years through personally approving each book being added. Gustavo was fierce in his dedication to serving people with print impairments while getting it right, by taking our commitments to publishers and authors seriously. He had a formidable intellect, and his insights, understanding and sense of humor will be sorely missed by our team.

We can honor Gustavo's commitment to access and books by doing our best to bring more books to more people with print disabilities around the world.

Miradi

2007-02-11T16:41:00.000-08:00

Our new environmental project management software, Miradi, just went into its beta testing. Our core beta testers are drawn from the Conservation Measures Partnership, coalition of the leading biodiversity groups (such as The Nature Conservancy, WWF and WCS).
I thought that meant a small beta test, but it turns out that we already have testers registered from 16 different countries on 6 different continents! Since we're designing this software for field people, and these groups have projects all over the world, it's just to be expected.
Miradi is an exciting project: I'm looking forward to making steady upgrades to the software this year. We're using an agile development mechanism, which means that we are responding quickly to user feedback and releasing new versions of the software several times a month. Later this year we should have a publicly available version 1 of the product!

Carrie Karnos, recipient of the 2006 James H. Veale Humanitarian Award.

2007-02-04T11:47:00.000-08:00

It's great when one of our team is honored for their work, and Carrie Karnos has been one of our top Bookshare.org volunteers for years, including being Volunteer of the Year. Carrie just received the James H. Veale Humanitarian Award for service to the blind community. Congratulations, Carrie!

Here's the letter from the editor of Matilda Ziegler Magazine, which explains why Carrie was deserving of this award:

A Letter from the Editor
New York City
Dec. 21, 2006

Dear Readers:

Last September I asked Ziegler readers to nominate someone for our annual James H. Veale Humanitarian Award. This award, in the form of a plaque, recognizes a sighted person who has contributed to the well-being of blind people. In response to that request, I received three worthy nominations.

Earlier this month I presented the trio of nominees to the board of directors of the E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation for the Blind, which funds this magazine as well as eye research programs at universities across the United States. Although the members of our board were impressed with all three nominees, they awarded Carrie Karnos of Palo Alto, CA, the 2006 Veale Award for her work with an accessible online library called Bookshare.

According to the Bookshare.org Web site, a $25 initiation fee and a $50 annual subscription "gives patrons access to a library of more than 30,000 books and 150 newspapers. Bookshare's collection includes all the books that have appeared in the top 10 on The New York Times Best Sellers lists in fiction and nonfiction, hardback and paperback alike, from September 2005 through November 2006. These titles are available now for download by subscribers in both DAISY and BRF formats."

Working for an organization with a long, illustrious history, I am always curious about how other organizations got their start. I found Bookshare's interesting history on its Web site's About Us section:

"Benetech, a new kind of nonprofit enterprise, is sponsoring the Bookshare initiative. Benetech melds the mission and heart of social activism with the powerful methods and tools of the technology community. Benetech doesn't give technology away, but instead develops socially beneficial and affordable products and services that are not financially attractive to for-profit companies.

"Benetech's origins start with its Arkenstone project. In 1989, a group of visionary Silicon Valley engineers and executives asked themselves a profound question: `Why couldn't the far-reaching power of the PC with voice synthesis be combined with scanning technology to create a usable, affordable reading machine for the blind?' The market was small and for-profit companies were not interested. Benetech was formed as a nonprofit enterprise to bridge the gap between `the possible and profitable.'

"During Arkenstone's 11 years, Benetech sold literacy products under the Arkenstone brand in more than a dozen languages to over 35,000 individuals in 60 countries. The goal from the beginning was to empower people with vision and learning disabilities to use state-of-the-art technology to achieve independence and high performance in the workplace. During this time, 99 percent of the nonprofit's budget came from product sales.

"Today, Benetech has become one of the nation's most successful examples of high- technology social enterprises, using an innovative business model to achieve major social objectives in education, employment and independence. The Arkenstone product line was so successful that it was purchased by a for-profit company and was thereby assured expansion capital and sustainability. The income received from the sale of Arkenstone provided the core capital for Benetech and seed investment for Bookshare."

Now that I know more about Bookshare, it is easy to understand why Carrie Karnos would choose to help such an outstanding, unique organization. Lena Hinkle, a Ziegler reader from San Diego, CA, sent the letter nominating Ms. Karnos.

She wrote, "Carrie Karnos is a Bookshare.org volunteer who has given blind readers access to more than 2,000 books. What makes Bookshare unique is that this library is truly at our fingertips and lets its patrons keep their downloaded books that are in specialized formats. What makes Carrie unique is her dedication. Since retiring, she has donated time and energy and books to Bookshare so that all of us who cannot read print enjoy a wide variety of selections that are available nowhere else in accessible media.

"To submit a book to Bookshare, Carrie has to choose it, scan it, correct OCR (optical character recognition) errors, upload it to the Web site, and complete the donation process. Carrie does not just submit books she enjoys, she has committed herself to widening the scope of accessible books and has given the library old books as well as new books, bestsellers as well as patrons' requests, art books and history books, craft books and Latin books, lots of nonfiction, huge books and small books, mysteries and science fiction, reference as well as humor. Although children's books and Latin books present many difficulties to prepare, Carrie has donated many children's books and enough Latin books to get me through two years of college Latin.

"Every month, Carrie scans and proofs all of the books on The New York Times Best Sellers list, which sometimes is a lot of books. She also assists other Bookshare volunteers with their proofreading projects and spends time in the Bookshare office doing whatever needs to be done.

"My words do not begin to tell you how significant Carrie's contributions are to blind people. Notice that it is because of Carrie's work that almost 10 percent of Bookshare's library exists. She brings the printed word to students, teachers, other professionals and avid readers."

Ms. Hinkle concluded her letter of nomination with an eloquent entreaty. She wrote, "Please consider Carrie Karnos for this award. She truly is one of the great, quiet humanitarians who carry on Matilda Ziegler's legacy of literacy for those of us who are blind."

Ms. Hinkle's conclusion really resonated with me and the board members of the E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation. Congratulations to Carrie Karnos, recipient of the 2006 James H. Veale Humanitarian Award. Yours truly, Gregory Evanina Editor

The Many Davos

2007-01-31T06:55:00.000-08:00

Amazing how fast we slide right back into "real life." Davos was only a couple of days ago and already I'm neck deep into my normal work.

It is worth taking a moment to reflect on the many faces of the Davos experience. Each person attending has many options to choose among, and you can't do it all. Here are just a few of the Davos' I saw in action last week.

Deal Davos (aka bilateral Davos)

You come to Davos to meet with a handful of specific people who are also there at the same time. Your time is dedicated to a moderate room in some Davos hotel, as your team runs a steady stream of key customers, suppliers and potential partners through. Davos as nexus for minimizing global travel.

Political Davos

You see Davos as a place to get exposed to leading politicians from around the world, where you can hear Tony Blair, Angela Merkel and King Abdallah of Jordan and a hot of others. A place where American politicians get exposed to world opinion and protest, not so much from the folks outside the gates of the WEF, but from leading businesspeople around the world.

Educational Davos

You get educated on the big issues facing your business and society (often the same issues). Top experts explain these issues with a depth and sophistication you rarely get elsewhere. You have interactive workshops and role playing with 40 other CEOs, digging into issues from completely different vantage points. I especially enjoyed the Digital Piracy workshop where a handful of us had to develop and present the "Commercial Pirate's Manifesto!"

Sporty Davos

You get to drive fast cars. Ecologically friendly fast cars. Skiing and sledding and snowboarding and cross country. Parties of every way shape and form, especially tuned for customers. Music and arts experiences.

(Global) Society Davos

You can spend all of your time on social issues, hanging with the heads of NGOs (the international name for nonprofits), major labor unions, religious leaders and of course the social entrepreneurs. You can learn more about the environment, about human rights, about development aid, about the digital divide, about microfinance, about healthy food and about disaster response. I was excited to be part of two sessions about improving disaster response through technology and corporate engagement with NGOs.

Ideas Davos

You get to see lots of inventions and new company ideas: a huge variety. I saw a 3 Watt LED light bulb as bright as a 60W bulb but cool enough to hold in your hand. I saw a pair of adjustable eyeglasses for kids in the developing world that cost less than $1 a pair to make. I heard about medical advances to combat strokes and diabetes. My favorite of these was an invention that you swallow and it takes pictures of your digestive tract, instead of needing the dreaded sigmoidoscopy. It was nicknamed "the light at the end of the tunnel!"

Young Davos

You get to meet up and coming business, media and political leaders: the people who will likely be at Davos in the future. I enjoyed seeing Mayor Gavin Newsome and his girlfriend, who I thought was just a gorgeous actress but also turned out to be a top Stanford Business School graduate. Plus, the WEF is staffed by an army of brilliant young people eager to change the world, people like Jesse Fahnestock who used to run Bookshare.org for us.

Friendly Davos

You get to spend lots of time with people you know through Davos over the years or other aspects of your life. The pressures of day-to-day work aren't there, and you can spend an hour impromptu with someone you had always wanted to meet. In a past year, I got to spend an hour chatting with David Baltimore, Nobel Laureate and then-president of Caltech, my alma mater. At an alumni event, I would get 60 seconds!

Conclusion

You can't do it all, as I said above. The hardest decisions to make are what to not do. What blend of the Davos cocktail will you have is a big challenge. For example, I decided this year to avoid political Davos because I thought other things were more important to my work. The richness of the experience lets you give up on some parts and still feel like you didn't shortchange yourself. But, it's very hard to get enough sleep!

I walked away with easily 60 business cards of people with whom I should be following up. Some of them will get involved with Benetech and that will be great. Some will send new people my way and vice versa. Some of them are on similar paths to mine and I know we'll be helping each other advance. Davos is just another branch of the great karma bank.

Hope I get to go back again!

Malaysia Party

2007-01-28T04:03:00.000-08:00

Every year there's a big party at the WEF on the last night (Saturday). Countries vie to sponsor the main event, throwing a big show and serving up their best food. Of course, the reason is economic development. After the opening show, we were treated to a short video extolling the virtues of investing in Malaysia. Knowing their audience it prominently featured a beautiful golf course (and of course beautiful Malaysian women). I was surprised how attentive the audience was to this commercial. Willing participants in a transaction of an evening of entertainment for a four minute video.

The Malaysians had brought a dance troupe, and it was fun. It had more of a feeling of a traditional cultural experience than last year's India party (which was Bollywood to the max). After singing some Malaysian songs, the four top singers switched to popular (American) music. Lots of Motown. And of course, we were dancing up a storm. There was also two other venues for music: one was sort of a jazz nightclub with jazz duos and the other had South African singers followed by recorded dancing music.

My challenge on these parties is that they go very late. Because I'm staying at the Schatzalp, the last train up the mountain leaves at 2 am. If you miss it, the next train is at 6 am! And, there were some people who ended up on the 6 am funicular. Of course, I caught the 2 am train and ended up in the lounge of the Schatzalp talking about the OLPC (One Laptop per Child) project and getting a CD of Amazonian music from my Brazilian buddies (the big column in Brazil's major Sao Paolo paper was entitled (Jungle Boys go to Davos!).

Saturday in Davos means protesters

2007-01-28T03:45:00.000-08:00

Over the five years I've attended the WEF, the level of protesting has gone way down. I like to think that inviting social entrepreneurs and other representatives of wider society has played a role in this. Of course, the issues are different and the U.S. presence seems lower.

I did run into a nice protester on the street. Uli was protesting against the Swiss banks taking five times more money in from the developing world than it puts back out. His direct concern was about corrupt elites that stash their ill-gotten gains in Switzerland. He was advocating for legal changes that would allow more transparency in such cases and permit countries to recover looted assets. We had quite a pleasant chat.

Of course, not all of the interactions were pleasant. One night after a party, one of my fellow social entrepreneurs got hit in the head by a snowball thrown by some punks shouting slogans. However, my buddy felt it was just drunk kids acting up rather than a political act!

Social entrepreneurs at Davos

2007-01-27T03:11:00.000-08:00

Like many of my conversations with social entrepreneurs, I feel like I have a window into a crucial social issue from someone with an unparalleled vantage point. And, I get to have at least a dozen of these in-depth conversations every time I come to Davos!br />
One great example of this was a major reception held last night with the following hosts: Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce.com), Prof. & Mrs. Schwab, Michael Dell, Peter Gabriel (rockstar and founder of Witness), Alan Hassenfeld (Hasbro) and Marilyn Carlson Nelson (Carlson Travel). The reception was held in honor of social entrepreneurs and marking the release of tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979923.post-1394691267411698103a new book edited by Marc Benioff entitled The Business of Changing the World<2007-01-25T08:23:00.000-08:00/a>2007-01-25T08:48:35.845-08:00, which is a compendium of essays about business people and their engagement with the social sector. I had some great conversations with people explaining what Benetech does.Davos is more than eating, drinking, and paneling (speeches). Significant numbers of other activities are here, and they are often unusual.
Talking to other Social Entrepreneurs
<>Cool cars

Every year Audi offers advanced driving courses. This year, BMW has a significant presence with its hydrogen-powered 700 series sedan. There are a handful driving around, as well as display units. Outside my hotel there is one of these, up on top of the mountain. You can ask for the chance to drive one, too!

Dialogue in the Dark

Andreas Heinecke is a social entrepreneur that I met over twelve years ago. He runs an experiential exhibition where you have the chance to spend a couple of hours doing everyday tasks in complete darkness, with blind people as your guides. It's obviously not the same thing as being blind, but it does prompt some reassessment of disability and ability, and for many people it's a chance to lose some of their fears about the dark (and maybe even blindness!).

Know Your Numbers

PwC runs a wellness test opportunity where they take your blood and give you a cholesterol test as well as a high blood pressure test. I thought I knew all about this subject, but I learned a tremendous amount about my particular type of lipid issues (low good cholesterol and high triglycerides). I went two levels deeper into the science of my particular issues and learned about a special test developed by UC Berkeley (an hour away from where I live). Very enlightening, and maybe will help reduce my chances of heart disease!

Funny Quote of the Day
I was in a session on disaster preparedness, and the guy next to me showed me an email on his BlackBerry. At first, it was a generic message from a WEF meeting organizer apologizing that their session had been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. However, I burst out with a snort when I read the final line:

We deeply regret this incontinence.

br />At least half of the highpoints of this week in Switzerland are the interactions I have with other social entrepreneurs. I feel very much at home with these folks, which are my peer community. Last night I was talking to John Wood about his book, Jim FruchtermanAmazon.com: Leaving Microsoft to Change the World.tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979923.post-7784732292965697738
2007-01-25T07:40:00.000-08:00<2007-01-25T08:14:36.706-08:00> more people. Garth noted that a single infection leads to many more infections given this profile compared to societies where you might have as many sexual partners over your lifetime, but where the likelihood of having multiple partners during this three week period is much less.

Internet Governance

2007-01-25T07:40:00.000-08:00

I attended the Internet governance panel this morning (lest you think that Davos is all play and no work). Fascinating panel: Vint Cerf (Google), Michael Dell(), John Markoff (New York Times), Hamadoun Toure (ITU), Jonathan Zittrain (Oxford) and moderated by Paul Saffo (Institute for the Future).

Schwab Social Entrepreneurs Summit 2007

This is the morally most challenging moment in my life,
but I've never felt more alive!

He also announced that Microsoft (and I think Yahoo!) and Google are planning to work together in the area of disaster preparedness.

It was a gratifying couple of days, and I've only scratched the surface. But, tonight I'll be in Davos and getting ready for the next phase of this trip!

Schwab Social Entrepreneurs Summit 2007

2007-01-23T01:20:00.000-08:00

We're wrapping up an intense couple of days here in Zurich, and I take the spectacular train to Davos this afternoon. The event here in Zurich is the Schwab Social Entrepreneur Summit, where roughly a hundred social entrepreneurs get together with global leaders to advance the movement.

Traffic is worse than it's ever been...
but better than it will ever be.

More people and more cars in the U.S. (and many other places) combined with minimal new roads will increase our problem. Ben continued by describing automobile commuting as a transportation system that typically operates with 20% load factors, because a typical car could hold five people and usually holds one! Imagine an airline that operated with that kind of load factor.

There are existing ridesharing matching services, but they haven't had the dramatic impact needed. The particular aspects of Poool (the working name for the software) is a web-based service that matches employees of large employers together. Because you are all going to (more or less) the same place, you can implement something that looks like a hub network with the place of work at the center rather than gazillions of point to point connections. By adding in some fail-safes (like a backup motor-pool or taxi for the few who missed on connecting), you could have a system that is more flexible and adapts to ad hoc carpooling instead of fixed carpools. Imagine the cost savings to the employer if fewer parking spaces were needed for employees. Imagine the benefits to society if we reduced even 10% of the commuting burden: getting rid of traffic congestion would save more than 10% of pollution and time.

Poool could be built today, but it's not clear that the incentives are quite right for adoption by large employers. Although there are obligations on employers to address mitigation of traffic impacts from their commuting employees, these are relatively weak. But, I have a feeling that as a society we're moving in a direction that will make Poool (or something similar) more likely. We already have companies giving large incentives to buy hybrids, or paying for public transportation, or removing the de facto subsidization of free parking.

There are many more details to the Poool concept, but that's the essence. It's a great idea that could help society, but where the financial structure right now does not seem to offer an attractive for-profit opportunity.

I just had breakfast with Ben Rosen, founding partner of the Sevin Rosen venture capital firm and now retired. Ben's firm was the lead investor in my first startup 25 years ago. As a matter of fact, Steve Dow, who was the associate who found us way back then, is still an active partner with Sevin Rosen and is one of Benetech's advisors. Ben is also on the board of Caltech, which is my alma mater. 㰠戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀䤀眀愀猀渀✀琀猀甀爀瀀爀椀猀攀搀琀漀昀椀渀搀琀栀愀琀䈀攀渀栀愀猀愀最爀攀愀琀椀搀攀愀昀漀爀愀琀攀挀栀渀漀氀漀最礀猀漀挀椀愀氀攀渀琀攀爀瀀爀椀猀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀椀琀眀愀猀昀甀渀琀漀琀愀氀欀愀戀漀甀琀椀琀⸀ 䈀攀渀✀猀戀攀攀渀琀栀椀渀欀椀渀最愀戀漀甀琀最氀漀戀愀氀眀愀爀洀椀渀最椀猀猀甀攀猀昀漀爀焀甀椀琀攀愀眀栀椀氀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀挀愀洀攀甀瀀眀椀琀栀愀渀椀搀攀愀琀栀愀琀挀漀甀氀搀戀攀椀洀瀀氀攀洀攀渀琀攀搀焀甀椀挀欀氀礀愀渀搀洀愀欀攀愀洀愀樀漀爀椀洀瀀愀挀琀漀渀瀀漀氀氀甀琀椀漀渀愀渀搀挀漀渀最攀猀琀椀漀渀⸀ 吀栀攀挀漀渀挀攀瀀琀椀猀椀洀瀀爀漀瘀攀搀爀椀搀攀猀栀愀爀椀渀最琀攀挀栀渀漀氀漀最礀昀漀爀挀漀洀洀甀琀攀爀猀琀漀洀愀欀攀挀愀爀瀀漀漀氀椀渀最洀漀爀攀瀀爀愀挀琀椀挀愀氀⸀ 䈀攀渀最爀愀戀戀攀搀洀礀愀琀琀攀渀琀椀漀渀眀椀琀栀琀栀攀昀漀氀氀漀眀椀渀最焀甀漀琀攀愀戀漀甀琀琀栀攀瀀爀漀戀氀攀洀㨀㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀氀漀挀欀焀甀漀琀攀㸀吀爀愀昀昀椀挀椀猀眀漀爀猀攀琀栀愀渀椀琀✀猀攀瘀攀爀戀攀攀渀⸀⸀⸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀戀甀琀戀攀琀琀攀爀琀栀愀渀椀琀眀椀氀氀攀瘀攀爀戀攀⸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀⼀戀氀漀挀欀焀甀漀琀攀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀䴀漀爀攀瀀攀漀瀀氀攀愀渀搀洀漀爀攀挀愀爀猀椀渀琀栀攀唀⸀匀⸀ ⠀愀渀搀洀愀渀礀漀琀栀攀爀瀀氀愀挀攀猀⤀ 挀漀洀戀椀渀攀搀眀椀琀栀洀椀渀椀洀愀氀渀攀眀爀漀愀搀猀眀椀氀氀椀渀挀爀攀愀猀攀漀甀爀瀀爀漀戀氀攀洀⸀ 䈀攀渀挀漀渀琀椀渀甀攀搀戀礀搀攀猀挀爀椀戀椀渀最愀甀琀漀洀漀戀椀氀攀挀漀洀洀甀琀椀渀最愀猀愀琀爀愀渀猀瀀漀爀琀愀琀椀漀渀猀礀猀琀攀洀琀栀愀琀琀礀瀀椀挀愀氀氀礀漀瀀攀爀愀琀攀猀眀椀琀栀㈀　─ 氀漀愀搀昀愀挀琀漀爀猀Ⰰ 戀攀挀愀甀猀攀愀琀礀瀀椀挀愀氀挀愀爀挀漀甀氀搀栀漀氀搀昀椀瘀攀瀀攀漀瀀氀攀愀渀搀甀猀甀愀氀氀礀栀漀氀搀猀漀渀攀℀ 䤀洀愀最椀渀攀愀渀愀椀爀氀椀渀攀琀栀愀琀漀瀀攀爀愀琀攀搀眀椀琀栀琀栀愀琀欀椀渀搀漀昀氀漀愀搀昀愀挀琀漀爀⸀ 㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀吀栀攀爀攀愀爀攀攀砀椀猀琀椀渀最爀椀搀攀猀栀愀爀椀渀最洀愀琀挀栀椀渀最猀攀爀瘀椀挀攀猀Ⰰ 戀甀琀琀栀攀礀栀愀瘀攀渀✀琀栀愀搀琀栀攀搀爀愀洀愀琀椀挀椀洀瀀愀挀琀渀攀攀搀攀搀⸀ 吀栀攀瀀愀爀琀椀挀甀氀愀爀愀猀瀀攀挀琀猀漀昀倀漀漀漀氀 ⠀琀栀攀眀漀爀欀椀渀最渀愀洀攀昀漀爀琀栀攀猀漀昀琀眀愀爀攀⤀ 椀猀愀眀攀戀ⴀ戀愀猀攀搀猀攀爀瘀椀挀攀琀栀愀琀洀愀琀挀栀攀猀攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀攀猀漀昀氀愀爀最攀攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀爀猀琀漀最攀琀栀攀爀⸀ 䈀攀挀愀甀猀攀礀漀甀愀爀攀愀氀氀最漀椀渀最琀漀 ⠀洀漀爀攀漀爀氀攀猀猀⤀ 琀栀攀猀愀洀攀瀀氀愀挀攀Ⰰ 礀漀甀挀愀渀椀洀瀀氀攀洀攀渀琀猀漀洀攀琀栀椀渀最琀栀愀琀氀漀漀欀猀氀椀欀攀愀栀甀戀渀攀琀眀漀爀欀眀椀琀栀琀栀攀瀀氀愀挀攀漀昀眀漀爀欀愀琀琀栀攀挀攀渀琀攀爀爀愀琀栀攀爀琀栀愀渀最愀稀椀氀氀椀漀渀猀漀昀瀀漀椀渀琀琀漀瀀漀椀渀琀挀漀渀渀攀挀琀椀漀渀猀⸀ 䈀礀愀搀搀椀渀最椀渀猀漀洀攀昀愀椀氀ⴀ猀愀昀攀猀 ⠀氀椀欀攀愀戀愀挀欀甀瀀洀漀琀漀爀ⴀ瀀漀漀氀漀爀琀愀砀椀昀漀爀琀栀攀昀攀眀眀栀漀洀椀猀猀攀搀漀渀挀漀渀渀攀挀琀椀渀最⤀Ⰰ 礀漀甀挀漀甀氀搀栀愀瘀攀愀猀礀猀琀攀洀琀栀愀琀椀猀洀漀爀攀昀氀攀砀椀戀氀攀愀渀搀愀搀愀瀀琀猀琀漀愀搀栀漀挀挀愀爀瀀漀漀氀椀渀最椀渀猀琀攀愀搀漀昀昀椀砀攀搀挀愀爀瀀漀漀氀猀⸀ 䤀洀愀最椀渀攀琀栀攀挀漀猀琀猀愀瘀椀渀最猀琀漀琀栀攀攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀爀椀昀昀攀眀攀爀瀀愀爀欀椀渀最猀瀀愀挀攀猀眀攀爀攀渀攀攀搀攀搀昀漀爀攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀攀猀⸀ 䤀洀愀最椀渀攀琀栀攀戀攀渀攀昀椀琀猀琀漀猀漀挀椀攀琀礀椀昀眀攀爀攀搀甀挀攀搀攀瘀攀渀㄀　─ 漀昀琀栀攀挀漀洀洀甀琀椀渀最戀甀爀搀攀渀㨀最攀琀琀椀渀最爀椀搀漀昀琀爀愀昀昀椀挀挀漀渀最攀猀琀椀漀渀眀漀甀氀搀猀愀瘀攀洀漀爀攀琀栀愀渀㄀　─ 漀昀瀀漀氀氀甀琀椀漀渀愀渀搀琀椀洀攀⸀ 㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀倀漀漀漀氀挀漀甀氀搀戀攀戀甀椀氀琀琀漀搀愀礀Ⰰ 戀甀琀椀琀✀猀渀漀琀挀氀攀愀爀琀栀愀琀琀栀攀椀渀挀攀渀琀椀瘀攀猀愀爀攀焀甀椀琀攀爀椀最栀琀昀漀爀愀搀漀瀀琀椀漀渀戀礀氀愀爀最攀攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀爀猀⸀ 䄀氀琀栀漀甀最栀琀栀攀爀攀愀爀攀漀戀氀椀最愀琀椀漀渀猀漀渀攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀爀猀琀漀愀搀搀爀攀猀猀洀椀琀椀最愀琀椀漀渀漀昀琀爀愀昀昀椀挀椀洀瀀愀挀琀猀昀爀漀洀琀栀攀椀爀挀漀洀洀甀琀椀渀最攀洀瀀氀漀礀攀攀猀Ⰰ 琀栀攀猀攀愀爀攀爀攀氀愀琀椀瘀攀氀礀眀攀愀欀⸀ 䈀甀琀Ⰰ 䤀栀愀瘀攀愀昀攀攀氀椀渀最琀栀愀琀愀猀愀猀漀挀椀攀琀礀眀攀✀爀攀洀漀瘀椀渀最椀渀愀搀椀爀攀挀琀椀漀渀琀栀愀琀眀椀氀氀洀愀欀攀倀漀漀漀氀 ⠀漀爀猀漀洀攀琀栀椀渀最猀椀洀椀氀愀爀⤀ 洀漀爀攀氀椀欀攀氀礀⸀ 圀攀愀氀爀攀愀搀礀栀愀瘀攀挀漀洀瀀愀渀椀攀猀最椀瘀椀渀最氀愀爀最攀椀渀挀攀渀琀椀瘀攀猀琀漀戀甀礀栀礀戀爀椀搀猀Ⰰ 漀爀瀀愀礀椀渀最昀漀爀瀀甀戀氀椀挀琀爀愀渀猀瀀漀爀琀愀琀椀漀渀Ⰰ 漀爀爀攀洀漀瘀椀渀最琀栀攀搀攀昀愀挀琀漀猀甀戀猀椀搀椀稀愀琀椀漀渀漀昀昀爀攀攀瀀愀爀欀椀渀最⸀ 㰀戀爀⼀㸀㰀戀爀⼀㸀吀栀攀爀攀愀爀攀洀愀渀礀洀漀爀攀搀攀琀愀椀氀猀琀漀琀栀攀倀漀漀漀氀挀漀渀挀攀瀀琀Ⰰ 戀甀琀琀栀愀琀✀猀琀栀攀攀猀猀攀渀挀攀⸀ 䤀琀✀猀愀最爀攀愀琀椀搀攀愀琀栀愀琀挀漀甀氀搀栀攀氀瀀猀漀挀椀攀琀礀Ⰰ 戀甀琀眀栀攀爀攀琀栀攀昀椀渀愀渀挀椀愀氀猀琀爀甀挀琀甀爀攀爀椀最栀琀渀漀眀搀漀攀猀渀漀琀猀攀攀洀琀漀漀昀昀攀爀愀渀愀琀琀爀愀挀琀椀瘀攀昀漀爀ⴀ瀀爀漀昀椀琀漀瀀瀀漀爀琀甀渀椀琀礀⸀

President's Update

2007-01-08T20:52:00.000-08:00

Here's my latest President's Update.

Benetech's momentum continues with some fantastic news. I was awarded one of the 2006 MacArthur Fellowships. Our biggest challenge now is finding the right people to join our team. If you know some great folks (especially techies) who want a job that embodies their values as well as paying a competitive wage, please send them my way!
Highlights of this Letter:

* The MacA (!)
* Recruiting technical talent
* Selected Project Updates
o Route 66 Literacy demosite launches
o Bookshare.org is going international
o Guatemalan secret police archives

The MacA

Getting an award like the MacArthur Fellowship is pretty humbling, especially one that embodies the built-in challenge that justifies the confidence shown by the awards panel. These awards are based not so much on past achievements, as an expectation that you will do something exciting in the future. Of course, the MacArthur people make a big deal out of the lack of obligation or reporting ("you'll never have to talk to us again," said Daniel Socolow, the head of the program). But, I don't feel that way!

The big question everybody asks me is what I'm going to do differently. And my answer is not much: I'm just going to do more of what I've been doing. However, the fellowship does give me much more flexibility: I don't have to justify spending Benetech's funds for something that isn't directly connected to our current projects. For example, I'm planning on going to India and Bangladesh next month for the first time, and to Uganda and Sudan next year.

One thing I am definitely going to do is write the book I've been kicking around for the last five years. By announcing this in many press interviews, I've managed to create lots of external pressure on myself to get this done! Speaking of the press, it is clear that they really get my overarching goal: to engage more of the tech community in serving the 90% of humanity we haven't been focusing on (yet). We featured many of these on Benetech's website. Our local paper, the San Jose Mercury News, did two great pieces on Benetech, a business section feature story and an exceptional column by Mike Cassidy entitled An Executive Does Well By Helping Others.

The great news is how much attention social entrepreneurship is getting. My two closest peers in California have both gotten MacArthurs (Victoria Hale this year and David Green two years ago). And, the godfather of the social entrepreneurship movement, Muhammad Yunus, received the Nobel Peace Price this year!

Recruiting

To accomplish the great things we've promised our communities (and our funders!), we need help. This kind of help comes in all forms, but we're particularly looking for technologists willing to join our team in Palo Alto. Under our new CTO, Patrick Ball (see my last President's letter), we are building a tech team to work on our incredibly varied list of projects in literacy, human rights and the environment. If you know some brilliant developers who want to actually get paid to change the world, put them in touch with us.

In addition to recruiting additional talent to our team in, we're also recruiting advisors and donors from the top echelons of the tech community. And, the most committed and dynamic folks from that crowd may have the chance to serve on our board of directors. If you know someone like that, send her (or him) my way, too!
Route 66 Literacy

Our newest project is Route 66 Literacy, and it includes a demonstration site that anyone can try out. Our initial focus is on serving people with cognitive disabilities who want to learn to read. A key feature of Route 66 is the Teacher Tutor, which helps the inexpert but motivated teacher (parent, volunteer, teacher's aide, rehab professional) teach reading.

Bookshare.org Goes International

This year marked my first attendance at the Clinton Global Initiative. CGI puts great emphasis on getting each attendee to make a new commitment to global society. My commitment was to take Bookshare.org international, including raising the money for making that possible.

We have already received a commitment from Microsoft and an unofficial commitment from a major Silicon Valley leader which will enable us to get this effort launched next year (but we still have more to do!). We've also received in-kind support from the Lex Mundi Pro Bono Foundation, which is organizing attorneys from around the world to help get us the permissions we need to bring books to disabled people around the planet.

The Guatemalan Secret Police Archive

I love to tell the stories of users of our technology: it makes the impact of our creations real for our team. My new favorite is how the Human Rights Ombudsman's Office of Guatemala (PDH is the Spanish acronym) uses our Martus human rights software. Guatemala has a sad history of large scale human rights abuse. Few of these violations have ever been prosecuted. One of the primary institutions responsible for this history was the National Police: the secret police force that was "so inextricably linked to violent repression, abduction, disappearances, torture and assassination that the country's 1996 peace accord mandated it be completely disbanded" (Kate Doyle, National Security Archive). Last year, the National Police archive was discovered, with an estimated 80 million pages of documents. Buried in these documents could be the answers to the questions of thousands of families about loved ones who disappeared during the last thirty years.

The first step in the process of assessing these documents was a pilot project to sample them. If all of the documents sampled were office supply requisitions and pay stubs, it would not be worth the considerable effort to wade through these literal mountains of paper.

In 2006, Benetech staff assisted in the scientific sampling of 1500 documents, the summaries of which were entered into the Martus software by our partner, PDH. Evidence of human rights abuses figured in 15 percent of the documents examined, with detentions, bodies and disappearances being most frequently found. PDH and Benetech are getting ready for the next phase of this ground-breaking work.
Conclusion

The world needs a lot more help than Benetech or I can provide. Please keep encouraging everyone you know to get more engaged in the important work of bringing the many opportunities we possess to every person on the globe!

Benetech Analyzes Key Bangladeshi Human Rights Data

2006-12-21T08:36:00.000-08:00

In my recent blog postings, I documented personal impressions during my recent trip to Bangladesh. This post takes a look at how Benetech is helping to document human rights abuses in that country. Objective and scientific evidence of human rights violations gives voice to victims and witnesses who have the courage to come forward and tell their stories.
