In the face of clear & present threats to Body- Mind & Soul from our accelerating adoption of technology into our society it is clear: The Cavalry Isn’t Coming… it falls to us… the willing & able… and we have to try to have impact. Over the past year- the I Am The Cavalry initiative reduced its focus and increased its momentum. With a focus on public safety & human life we did our best collecting- connecting and collaborating to ensure the safer technology dependence in: Medical- Automotive- Home Electronics & Public Infrastructure.Last year DerbyCon played host to the first Hacker Continental Congress a defining moment in our formation and direction. Year[0] was encouraging. Year[1] will require more structure and transparency if we are to rise to these challenges… As a year of experimentation comes to an end- we will map where we’ve been- take our licks where we've failed- laugh at our missteps- celebrate the progress of others and more importantly outline a path forward.
