Hello Carrie
NYLXS is a non-profit 503.c trust incorporating in 2001. We support the
education, use and development of Free Software, as defined by the Free
Software Foundation. Our activities have included demonstrations of
products, programming education, adult education, publication of
Journals, and textbooks, free Software Business Development.
Presently, we have opportunities to develop programs that are core to
our mission, which is to address the deep digital divide that exists in
the communities about New York City. Opportunities have involved Title
1 educational programs directly involved in public schools, and the NYC
Department of Youth and Community Development.
We have members who have worked through community and educational
organizations to reach kids and adults and you break down the barriers
of the digital divide. While it is true that today Free Software has
spread far and wide from Google's Android to the highest levels of
financing and banking, the empowerment the largest two components are
now social/psychological and financial. We can address the financial,
but to motivate children, and change a mind-set of from viewing
electronic devices as more than consumer goods, to economic and
educational opportunities, that takes a lot more work, and this is where
NYLXS can service the community and provide the foundation for future
entrepreneurship and economic development.
NYLXS's motto has been for nearly 15 years now, We are Do'ers. This is
the attitude we try to instill with every contact. LIU can help us in
these goals by providing space for meetings, helping to gain vital
political and business contracts, allowing for space for educational
services, and allowing for cross pollination of business and educational
ideas. We would like to request a regular meeting time on a monthly
bases for hackers development on user end products that involve Free
Software, and for a biweekly meeting which for educational planning and
development (A business meeting for the program).
Thank You for your attention to the matter
Ruben Safir
President
NYLXS
