I’ve been working with my old friend Kyle at Precipio Technologies on a website for the Center for Institutional and Social Change, an project affiliated Columbia Law School to meet the “urgent need to rebuild the capacity of institutions to address pressing public problems in a democracy.” GroundShift.org launched today for the opening of a conference entitled “The Future of Diversity and Opportunity in Higher Education.”
The site is built on Plone, an open-source content management system. I’ve been digging around in the plumbing behind the scenes and it’s refreshing to work in python rather than php. Plone seems well suited to social networking and collaborative processes and is powerful and flexible enough to accomodate many different scenarios. It’s been fun working on it so far, though I haven’t had as much time for my usual blog posts.

Hi Andy! I saw Kyle and Jane this afternoon at Emlyn’s recital. They were full of praise for all that you did to help them! I’ll tell you the details next time we talk rather than embarrassing you online! Love, your mom
