Pruitt's departure from DDN
(Reply at bottom)
I think there is a larger issue that we might collaborate on.
Funders
do not seem to value the role of intermediaries and of knowledge
brokers. I find many of the same challenges of finding money for the
Tutor/Mentor Connection as DDN is finding
This group has so much to offer, and operates on budgets that
ranking government and corporate officers would scoff at --- because
it is so tiny. There are many examples of how bright ideas and a few
dimes would do so much -- Taran's van in a box is as good as any.
FEMA would spend more
For any of you who would like to take up John's offer, I'm hosting the next
Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference in Chicago on November 18 and 19. Part
of this conference will be a symposium built off of needs assessment

Hola Andy and All ~~ Sometimes a vacuum in staff leadership can create more
space and lead to a larger realm of connected reality that involves more people
in different new ways not even imagined before. Over the last few years I have
seen the DDN grow, develop and mature as a positive creative

Dear Cedar, Andy, and All,
Hello and a million thanks and cheers for a job amazingly done! Hope you
will stay in the network so we can carry forward our plans to rally our
fellow Hampsters (Hampshire College students and grads) to do the work of
sustainability which Andy has outlined in his
This is sad news :(
I am very impressed with http://www.digitaldivide.net/ and I think Cedar
had a lot to do with it. I refer people to it often as an example of
good function. I like the content, ease of use, and design, though I
haven't done as much with it yet as I would like.
Thank you,
Thirty years ago when I worked at EDC our overhead (indirect cost) rate was
something like 100% of all direct labor costs. I wonder if that's changed,
or if it varies for this project. It would be nice to know that in advance

cedar pruitt has done a superb job and i sure hope there are ways to
bring her back to DDN sometime. her talents have made the DDN web site
the jewel it is.

Dear Cedar, a thank you is not enough for your patience in explaining
when I fumbled. And I fumbled a lot: uploading files, linking to
articles, etc. Sure, others are more competent as a rule. But I can
imagine what workload you had
On the basis of the great work you did at DDN, you should

and online communities

Dear DDN Members,
Thank you all so much for many things: your spirit, creative energy, goodwill
and determination, not to mention your many warm wishes at this time of
transition. I've grown a great deal while at the Digital Divide Network, and
I'm very grateful to have had this opportunity.
