@aeva @evan Nicholas Negroponte was the instigator and leader of One Laptop Per Child - several Red Hat and GNOME friends worked on that initiative. As you say, Joi Ito was one of the initiators of Creative Commons, and was also a Friend Of O'Reilly. Dean Kamen invented the Segway, made money from medical device innovations, and a founder of FIRST, the largest robotics organization for high school kids in the USA, covering three competitions - the FIRST Lego League (targeting elementary andmiddle school), FIRST Tech Challenge (middle and high school) and FIRST Robotics Competition (high school) - which my son is involved in.
