An Open Discussion About How Omidyar Network Could Work Better

Ami Dar recently kicked off a rare and unusual kind of conversation. In An Open Discussion About How Omidyar Network Could Work Better, a number of very articulate stakeholders respond to his description of how "many organizations have been hurt and disappointed" by recurring behaviors of the funding arm of the Omidyar Network. If you're at all interested in breaking down some of the barriers we have about criticizing funders in our communities, I recommend you take a look at this conversation.

The Praxis Project's Information Resource Center
	I just recently came across The Praxis Project's Information Resource Center.
