07.26.05 Excellence Roundtable InvitationSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 07/26/2005 - 08:41.
07/26/2005 - 10:30 Dear Friend, Just a quick reminder, there is an excellence roundtable today, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM, at the City Club. Please stop by to brainstorm on the power of NEO's virtual community, which spans the world and is far underleveraged here at home. The outcome of these discussions will be plans for an excellence roundtable we shall hold in New York, NY, August 11, at Jones Day's offices there. The purpose of extending roundtables beyond Cleveland is to better connect our interests here with the more powerful networks found beyond our physical borders. Location

"Where angels fear to tread", Case Tech Transfer VP has brought great success to ClevelandSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 07/12/2005 - 01:25.
The July 11, 2005, Ohio Venture Association (OVA) luncheon featured Mark Coticchia, VP for Research and Technology Management at Case University, presenting a report on the progress of his organization since he arrived in Cleveland four years ago. He demonstrated that the progress has been amazing; all performance metrics tracked are at least 100% improved since 2001. Bill Callahan, Director of Digital Vision, reports data on the "Digital Divide"Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 07/09/2005 - 22:04.
Bill Callahan, Director of Digital Vision (a coalition of organizations in Cleveland, Ohio working to eliminate the "digital divide" in our city), has posted to his blog an analysis of the extent of the digital divide in Cleveland, and the findings are disturbing... "the percentage of Cleveland households in the sample with active Internet connections may be as low as 40%". The numbers for many sectors of our society are much lower. There is not a simple solution to this problem - not just a wi-fi mesh, or neighborhood computing centers, or school labs, or libraries - there is a need as a community to say that we are all committed to help each resident who wants to participate in the new economy to cross the digital divide, and help in every way every step of the way. Read on about the current state of the divide in Cleveland, and consider how you may make a difference: CLEVELAND'S DIGITAL DISCONNECT: The data, provided to Digital Vision by Scarborough Research, 07.12.05 Excellence Roundtable invitation: creating corporate partnerships for community enhancementSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 07/08/2005 - 11:34.
07/12/2005 - 10:30 With the recent contributions by Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff of 10 laptops and by Progressive Insurance of 75 Pentium II CPUs for donation to those in need of help across the digital divide in East Cleveland, we have tangible evidence corporations may make a positive contribution to people's lives in NEO. Along the same lines of thought, at the last NEO Excellence Roundtable, participants interested in making NEO the world's most empowering learning community discussed the value corporations have had in supporting schools and even individual classrooms.

Thoughts on bashboards, civic engagement, NEO and the New EconomySubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 06/26/2005 - 01:21.
In a recent article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, posted to the NEO Excellence community, business editor Paul O'Donnell wrote "I really didn't need Forbes magazine to tell me that Cleveland ranks 113th out of 150 metropolitan areas for best places to jump-start a business or career". Based on Forbes' analysis of our assets, O'Donnell observed one would conclude "the region is predominantly populated by reasonably educated engineers who spend discretionary income on the arts or sports, who work at companies that pay well but aren't hiring, and who live in safe neighborhoods filled almost exclusively with native Northeast Ohioans."
PD story "Memos raise questions on U.S. push to war in Iraq" also raises questions on NEO media and globalismSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 06/21/2005 - 09:15.
The war in Iraq is big news world-wide. Whether reports on casualties or offensives, the news papers, airwaves and internet are on constant high-alert for stories on developments, which they publicize daily. It is thus surprising a major Iraq-related story that has been big news world-wide was not featured in the mainstream US news until this past weekend. The story is of eight secret "Downing Street Memos" - DSMs - which raise considerable cause for global public debate on a lack of US and UK government honesty and openness leading up to America declaring war on Iraq. Why are the DSMs, which the press in Europe starting reporting on May 1st, just now becoming "front page" news in America... seven weeks after the story broke in the UK? Plain Dealer "reader advocate" Ted Diadiun felt it necessary to dedicate his 06.19.06 Page 2 Sunday column to this question, and his explanation offers critical insight on the state of US mainstream news reporting and American and Northeast Ohio society today. Put computers to work for kidsSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 06/14/2005 - 00:35.
An unexpected gem of an editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer observes "more than two-thirds of pre-school students use computers". "Education must evolve along with the rest of society" - "pre-schoolers who use computers at school regularly make greater gains than those without such technology." "The challenge for community leaders is to ensure that the advantages of the digital age reach all young people, including those of modest means." Read on below...

Open Source to the RescueSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 04/27/2005 - 23:30.
For those who still don't get IT, an explanation for the evolution of Friendster's open source architecture should help...consider: "There were discussions of ditching open source. Should we just buy off-the-shelf software that would do what we want?" Pattishall explains. "We investigated the market but found there wasn't anything close to what we wanted to do, and it was way too expensive. We wouldn't be able to execute on any business plan because we spent too much just on the software." Read on... ( categories: )
