The Bad

• - Complete mismatch in our initial governance


• - Essentially zero participation

The Good

• - Supportive people and orgs like Tech Alley (Josh Leavitt), few but essential


• - Real projects with real utility both as learning platforms and as paths to a Smarter Smart City


• - We are a determined nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity, in every sense of that word

The Year Ahead

• - Global Space Apps Challenge in October, a Hackathon about The Universe!


• - Adding Mary Norris to our Board of Directors to help us reach out Beyond Nevada for Non-Local Innovators (making it Shawn, Mary, and myself)
