Here is a good post on the Post. We agree!

In 2000, the Leonsis Foundation received a proposal from One Economy, a new nonprofit working to connect low-income people with technology and information, to create a youth program. One Economy recognized not only the natural affinity for technology among young people, but also their potential for spreading technology knowledge and a culture of use in their neighborhoods. We liked their ideas a lot, and the founders presented us with a solid business plan based on their previous experience running other nonprofits. We decided to go ahead and provide seed funding for this program.

With our grant, One Economy launched Digital Connectors, a program that provided technology training to Washington, DC youth and employed them to promote and support the adoption of technology among families and individuals in their communities. These teens gained new knowledge that helped them in school, experience at a part-time job, and the pride of knowing they had made a difference in their communities.

Today, One Economy has leveraged the Leonsis Foundation’s initial investment to establish Digital Connector programs around the country in cities from New York to San Francisco.  More than 1,200 youth have completed the program and provided over 42,000 hours of community service to their communities. We are very proud of the Digital Connectors program’s success and congratulate One Economy on developing and scaling it so successfully.

This is a nice write-up on the Firefox browser and our role in its development. I remember Mitch Kapor, David Gang and I discussing how to turbo charge Firefox at a D Conference outside of San Diego. We decided to spin it out and AOL made a $5 million donation to fund it as well as donating the code to the non-profit organization. Mitch and I drove the initial spin out; AOL made the donation; and the rest is history thanks to the great work on the Foundation and the developer community. It is nice to be remembered and to get a bit of the credit on occasion for that initial work and our belief in open community development. 

Go Nats! And just wait until you see the new Nationals stadium. It is really great and the Nationals deserve a first class experience after all they went through as a franchise.

Good for Alex. It was a fun weekend at the All-Star game. The league is getting to know Alex the way our fans here in DC know him.

Good for Alex. It was a fun weekend at the All-Star game. The league is getting to know Alex the way our fans here in DC know him. Now it is time to bear down and for the team to laser focus on playing at a pace that will let us qualify for the playoffs. I am hopeful we will get healthier and that Pothier, Clark and Fehr can rejoin our line-up this last part of the season and that we can play as a fully deployed team. We will miss Michael Nylander and hope he is fully recovered next season.

Thank you. It was great to meet so many season ticket holders last week who want to help the Washington Mystics be a success at the gate.

Wholesome, funny, sweet, fast, authentic and historic. He will do fine in sponsorships and his financial future is secure.  But we both agree – as does his family - that to secure his spot in history, we must win a Stanley Cup or two. That is our collective priority. When you win and win championships, everything takes care of itself.
