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!

We have a great meeting space at the Silicon Valley Pad, thanks to Stine Jewett and Scott Krinsky. Their website is here.

Our recent Meetups have been great discussion groups, comprised of a diverse array of talents and interests. We are trying out Google Wave for the Group cadres that will be working on projects, fundraising and specific topics. Participants will be receiving invitations as soon as I can work it out.
