If Henry Jenkins thinks it's nifty, I've probably got the background for it. In a career with professional computer experience that reaches back to 1978, I've spent the last 20+ years in stints in high tech (DEC, Varian, consulting), higher ed (MIT, UNC, UO) and nonprofits (Oregon Public Networking, consulting, volunteer), and business (nominated, Woman Entrepreneur of the Year by reporting staff on the Portland Business Journal as VP/Marketing and BizDev for the 3rd fastest growing private company in Oregon). Long time digital divide (domestic/rural and international) and progressive activist. I've always tended to fill in the cracks between technology and society, techies and non-techies, business and academia, academia and nonprofits, nonprofits and politics. The boundary conditions are always the most interesting. Resume at http://bit.ly/shava
