Hi everyone,
As all of you know, the last several years have been challenging ones
for nonprofits involved in bridging the digital divide. Funding
priorities of many donors have shifted, resulting in a shrinking pool of
financial resources. We at DDN have always prided ourselves on running
Hi all,
This has previously been posted on the discussion boards but they seem
to be very slow moving - so apologies if you've already read it.
As detailed below, we've recently released a new version of our
low-bandwidth web acceleration tool Loband, which we think will be a

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

Hi Joe,
edc's overhead is closer to 35 percent. But that isn't the major factor - it's
more that there's been a downturn in funding digital divide projects and online
communities

Here's my take. I manage a service that like many good projects began as a
volunteer project
It's always good to see old employers moving with the times. Thanks, Andy.
There are a wide range of funders interested in what you're doing, and I
wonder if there's a coordinated strategy to engage members of this group,
their agencies, and EDC in maximizing everyone's opportunity through
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.
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 for the work it does.
I'd like to see an expanded
