Group 490
Meetup of local designers, inventors, innovators and social entrepreneurs who are intrested in the design, development and distribution or products for the benefit of the Other 90% -- that's about 5.85 billion people -- that's a market. This group is sponsored by Designfluence, a nonprofit aggregator of designers and resources, and is open to collaborative relationships with like groups and individuals. More about Designfluence http://designfluence.org on our website.
We've decided NOT to have membership dues or meeting fees. However, there is an expense for Meetup, costs for food and drink, and a need for funding timely Designfluence projects. Please make a donation of whatever you can afford at http://designfluence.org/fundraising.html. Our first goal is $300+ to work on the backend IT of the GiveBank pro bono site. Thank you!

For our July 490 Meetup, we have a new, maybe permanent meeting space, thanks to Stine Jewett and the Silicon Valley Pad. Their website is coming, so check in here. In May we were lucky to have Gunter Pauli stop by for an informal chat (Google him for an interesting read). In April Leo and Ryan presented their thesis projects for restaurant waste recycling and homeless people, respectively, and we had a great discussion about how that applies to the Designfluence mission.
