RPCV points out catalytic effect of Iraq
RPCV John D. Erickson says: I am willing to concede that the events in Iraq probably have had a catalytic effect in spreading the idea of pluralistic democracy.

Reflections of Open Source Diva Danese Cooper
Reflections of Open Source Diva Morocco RPCV Danese Cooper: There were a lot of people who started at Peace Corps who've ended up doing social consciousness work or working for NGOs (non-governmental organizations) around the world because what really motivated them was a desire to help. If what motivates you is a desire to see what good technology in the most hands or to learn from some of the best programmers in the world (and become one yourself) there are a lot of benefits to involving yourself in the Open Source community that are self-gratifying in addition to being good for the world. If you're interested in doing well while doing good then I think Open Source is a fine choice, and aspiring to show up shouldn't be denigrated. 21 March 2005
