#CDG is becoming the “Human Advancement Research Community”. “Principal Investigators (in alphabetical order): Vi Hart, Dan Ingalls, John Maloney, Yoshiki Ohshima, Bret Victor, and Alex Warth.” “#HARC will be chaired by Patrick Scaglia”, previously “CTO of Cloud Services & Applications at HP” and “co-Founder of the Center for Information Technology in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) Foundry technology incubator program”, and E&S (Supercomputer Division) and Cadence. Funding is from YC, SAP, and Infosys (!). The name is an obvious reference to PARC; let’s see if PARC makes them change it.
