I've been studying "Technologies of Cooperation" for a little while now, though I still have negligible ability to actually write code. I'm interested in the way that web2.0 can facilitate new organizational and business models, particularly organizations that are headless and transparent. I see a link between such organizations and the possibility improved global cooperation.

Some links:

• Bandillero: A company I helped to start, and that may act as a testing ground for some business experiemnts
• RightRides: A killer nonprofit that I'm volunteering for, helping with online strategy.
• Facebook: My profile

Contact:

• mattcooperrider at the mail that Google is kind enough to provide

At the event, I'll probably talk about the idea of the headless organization, or the decentralized network of freelancers, and how that applies to social change.
