After over 12 years trying to get the video games studio industry to
both create and use more open source software and unrestricted hardware,
Jared Hardy finally gave up on those proprietary-minded fools, and
started building NELA-ISC.Net instead. In the process of bootstrapping
this Northeast LA community utility cooperative (still in progress), he
discovered the catch-22 of funding nonprofit community projects that can
never take any tax deductible donations or returns-based investments. He
then started the deductible-donation accepting Data Roads Foundation to
help solve that catch-22 investment problem -- among other issues
inherent to all cooperatively owned networks. More about that and his
other yak shaving projects are available in the links below:

If the content in these links create more questions than answers, that
will provide good conversation fodder for Thursday night 6/12!
