[CSL board] 23 year goals

[Dan MacNeil]

Thanks Melissa for gentle reminders on this.

Here's a first draft, scrawled on a napkin. Re-write it as you will.

Assumptions:

	We should have a big picture plan before going
	for Parker money.

	The melting ice caps will effect only the people in Boston

	Moore's law will not be broken.

	Only evolutionary improvements in UI are possible.

In 2030 (23 years)

Free software will be the norm. Software will be part of the permanent
public infrastructure.  People will be as comfortable using unfree
software as they are peeing in the public swimming pools.

The stylish minority who live light and owe loyalty to the gift culture
 will grow.

There will be 7 independent community software labs associated with
universities, vocational schools and coffee shops. Our work will attract
people to our partner institutions. At least 3 of the CSLs will be
outside North America.

All Lowell non profits will have reliable, optional cost email, shared
calendars, web content management, file servers and contact management
software and service. These services will be state of the art in ease of
use.  We will provide high quality training to non-profits

The CSL will make significant improvements to 2-4 software projects of
particular use to non-profit organizations.

mvhub.org software will be used statewide

We will train other LPI (http://www.lpi.org/) trainers

We will have figured out how to lower total cost of ownership for PCs
from $1500 per year to $500. Some of this will be figuring out how to
get other people to pay for stuff.

mvhub.org software will scale to state wide use.

A successful software engineering/service learning class will provide us
a steady stream of recruits and will increase the world's usage and
knowledge of free software.

We will be part of a community of developers working on mvhub.org.

A successful A+/LPI internship program will provide us a steady stream
of recruits and will increase the world's usage and knowledge of free
software.
