Request for help from a Geek Volunteer. Over the years, we've donated books to many nonprofits and schools in developing countries. Last October, I received an email from Sudhakar Chandra, a self-described "geek volunteer," that got me thinking about how O'Reilly and other companies could do a better job of supporting the good works of people like Sudhakar. [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service]
I'm glad that Tim's helping Sudhakar. I used to work with Sudhakar when he was at Netscape and he was both an extremely competent geek and a good guy (I till have his old email address in my Netscape addressbook Sudhakar Chandrasekharan <thaths@netscape.com> :-)
I had heard from friends at Netscape that he left the company to do some humanitarian work, and that was well before the dot bomb: I admired him a lot for making this choice then.
Good luck Sudhakar.
