It's good to know I'm not alone in these sentiments and was also troubled by the "nonissue" people -- particularly how insensitively they've been discussing an issue that caused 3 people to lose employment!<br /><br />Angelique, let me know if there's anything I or Staq can do to support your effortsMike Subelskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590094055236393140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369418367411691447.post-37413225221701815452014-03-04T18:29:31.979-05:002014-03-04T18:29:31.979-05:00It is hard for me to understand why GBTC didn'...It is hard for me to understand why GBTC didn't have more support from the business community. It may be that the tech community business owners are doing so well and are so busy that they fail to see that grass root community building is an essential ingredient in attracting and keeping top talent in Baltimore. <br /><br />Tech companies are doing well, but people in their 30's (not just techies) will leave for communities that are staying ahead of the curve. GBTC was helping greatly to make things happen, but it takes an enlightened and supportive business community for them to thrive and grow.Ecogordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509677619879074671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369418367411691447.post-12463560467339485882014-03-04T12:40:31.535-05:002014-03-04T12:40:31.535-05:00Well said.

It's not specifically focused on the City of Baltimore, but the CRTC is a viable organization helping to bridge some of those gaps.Garret Ohmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342773018003947588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369418367411691447.post-66215349758796560042014-03-04T11:39:54.623-05:002014-03-04T11:39:54.623-05:00Thanks for posting this Mike and for highlighting ...Thanks for posting this Mike and for highlighting Misty's and my work with Girl Develop It as something good and needed in Baltimore.<br /><br />I've actually been surprised by the number of people who see the loss/hiatus of GBTC as a nonissue. Anyone who thinks GBTC was essentially a calendar of events or can be replaced by an ad hoc Facebook group wasn't paying attention to the same things I saw and appreciated about the organization. As someone fairly new to the city's tech scene, I also think Andrew and Sharon are very approachable and their excitement and care about the city were always very clear to me. (I don't know Jason as well but assume the same of him in part b/c of my experiences with Andrew and Sharon.)<br /><br />I'm interested to see what a reborn GBTC will be like, if its priorities and influence will be in line with what I valued about GBTC 2013. But, like you, I also mourn what was, to me, a positive influence on and connector of the city's tech scene, companies and individuals.Angeliquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251105145738778770noreply@blogger.com
