Use the old and new technologies and you’ll find others to join with you.  If you’re struggling to get started, connect with us and we’ll support you in starting something.

‘Yes, the cards are unfairly stacked against too many people.  Yes, there are too many barriers and not enough support.  But no, your ability to create and contribute isn’t determined at birth.  It’s a choice.’*^
