Social Networking to improve the standards of living for 5 billion people

Thursday Mar 08, 2007

Please tune in to the latest edition of Innovating@Sun as host Hal Stern and his guests, Jim Manico, GIAC GSEC Professional and Certified Java Programmer and Scott Mattoon, Chief Architect, discuss their work with Architecture for Humanity, specifically the Open Architecture Network.

The Open Architecture Network is the brainchild of Architecture for Humanity and the designers and local chapters who volunteer. It grew out of their collective frustration in sharing ideas and trying to work together to address shelter needs after disaster, in informal settlements and in their own communities. The Open Architecture Network is an online, open source community dedicated to improving living conditions through innovative and sustainable design.

Hal, Jim and Scott have been involved in this project since last year's TED Conference, when Cameron Sinclair, co-founder and executive director of Architecture for Humanity, won the prestigious TED Prize and had a dream to create architecture solutions to humanitarian crises and brings design services to communities in need.

This is exciting stuff - you don't want to miss it!!
