February 25, 2025Episode 0106: Skills and Experience
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: We find ourselves in interesting times of late, and while some of the chaos taking place at the federal level is concerning, we are very specifically thinking locally, and maybe it is time you do as well, and then act locally.

February 12, 2025Episode 0104: We Need Open Government
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The news of late includes many mentions of recent findings at the level of the Federal Government concerning foreign aid and science and maybe education and emergency management and the list goes on. Some of the confusion, or lack of clear understanding, may be due to the notion that the federal government has been hiding data, hiding errors, corruption, fraud, and so on… suppose these pieces of data, billions of them or more, were visible to the public? Spoiler alert ahead.

February 05, 2025Episode 0103: Readme
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: For an organization such as ours which hopes to collaborate with volunteers on a somewhat chaotic basis, it makes sense to have everything written down so that someone who works on an initiative for a few hours each month can locate information and work with others using the same information. It is the reading part that can be a challenge. Stay tuned for an AI-generated segment at the end, an automated discussion of our Contributing document!

January 28, 2025Episode 0102: Inclusivity Diversity Accessibility
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: DEI is making headlines, some are sticking with it, some are tossing it out, it is simple and complicated. Our Foundation has always taken a scaled-down approach, making Inclusivity, Diversity, and Accessibility our goals, and we will continue to do that, but what does that mean? Let´s talk about it.
