This is a fusion group: fusion of web2.0 and grassroots. Actually that is what web 2.0 is about. We human being have many great ideas thousands of years ago. Now it is the great chance for us to accomplish those grand missions. I have a feeling that many grassroots folks are not aware of tech breakthrough and its applications, while many web2.0 techies are not aware of various social causes that many grassroots people have been fighting for generations. Computer science is a bridge between physical science and human science. We are at the beginning of a brand new world. NYC is the culture center. If we leverage this advantage, NYC will have a chance to become the dominant center of web 2.0 development. I intend to use this meetup group to explore activities to bring people from these two trenches together, to learn from each other, and to cooperate together.

So you don't need to be a tech person. If you are interested in any causes, you are welcome. « less
