Hacking 4 Defense
 

G'day Fellas!

Has anyone heard about the Stanford Hacking 4 Defense program?

http://hacking4defense.stanford.edu

It's a "Lean Start Up" based innovation and problem solving framework program.

I had the opportunity to meet the guys who created & developed it, retired COL Joe Felter(one of you guys) and COL Pete Newell, a few months back.

They are working with Lean Start Up and Silicon Valley legend Steve Blank(Vietnam era USAF):

They are now expanding into Hacking 4 Diplomacy:

I'll be attending their H4D Educators Course at Georgetown right before the Inaugeration:

....if anyone is interested in learning more about the open source stuff.

I reckon it's got some awesome applicability to non-kinetic problem solving.
