Very Cool and Uplifting News from Acumen Fund

Social Entrepreneurship is a quickly growing phenomenon.

Dear Acumen Fund Friends,

Greetings to you in this season of renewal. I hope this finds you well.

I've just returned from Nairobi, the last in our series of visits to cities in the U.S., Pakistan, India and Kenya to interview final candidates for the 2008 class of Acumen Fund fellows.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work. After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work. I went through a nearly parallel issue with Google Compute Engine. It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. : I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate.
