Chris,

Picking up on the video, re Yunus's comments about social IT business, I've been rebuilding our commercial website to make the connection between business and social purpose more obvious.

It's incomplete, under development, but hopefully will promote the existence of a social software business in the UK.

http://www.people-centered.net/

This links back to our current project, which in Yunus's terms would comprise various levels of cost recovery from less-than to more-than in a nil overall cost development proposal to render the profit from affordable broadband delivery to the further social purpose of delivering family type homes to orphans.

My instrument of choice nowadays is the DotNetNuke platform and should you desire a fully featured CMS to discuss Yunus type social business projects in general, with a forum, RSS and other feature included, just say the word. It will be a social business's contribution to the promotion of social business.

There are a vast array of skins which could be adopted and although I could host it as a portal within my own domain, I think it would be better to make it discrete. Then we could converge on one space for discussion, if you see this as an advantage.

Either way, I'm ready and have been quite a while, to talk about the IT related issues referred to by Yunus, so let's do it.

Jeff
