Historically black colleges and universities have struggled to build those familiar, trusting relationships with tech firms, but the United Negro College Fund is helping change that. This week officials from 17 schools came to Palo Alto for a four-day \u003ca href=\"http://www.hbcuinnovation.org/\">Innovation Summit\u003c/a> in hopes of laying new foundations for their graduates’ careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to UNCF, African-Americans get 21 percent of their science, technology, engineering and math degrees from historically black colleges and universities (better known as HBCUs). These institutions, however, are only 4 percent of the nation’s colleges, and none of them is in California. So it’s easy to see why Berkeley and Stanford alumni have a geographic advantage in getting internships, jobs and startup funding. The summit was the first step in starting conversations that will broaden that advantage to populations that haven’t typically had it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you just allow the market to take shape as it would, you’ll tend to go and find people that you’re most familiar with,” said College Fund senior vice president Karl Reid. “What these conversations do is… foster the kind of relationships that are necessary for the HBCU community… to make the connections with these kinds of innovative environments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to say exactly how many African-Americans, Hispanics and other people of color work in Silicon Valley. Some of the largest companies have solidly \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/17/technology/diversity-silicon-valley/index.html?iid=HP_Highlight\">resisted\u003c/a> efforts to get their demographic data. There are a number of black HBCU graduates leading major tech firms, including Symantec’s former CEO \u003ca href=\"http://www.virtualinstruments.com/company/management/john-w-thompson\">John Thompson\u003c/a> (he went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.famu.edu/\">Florida A&M University\u003c/a> in Tallahassee, Fla.) and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/company/history/art.shtml\">Art George\u003c/a>, a senior VP at Texas Instruments (he attended \u003ca href=\"http://www.subr.edu/\">Southern University\u003c/a> in Baton Rouge, La.). Some executives are reaching out on their own, including Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.theroot.com/buzz/sandberg-launches-lean-program-howard\">launched\u003c/a> her women’s business initiative “Lean In” at Howard University, a school in Washington D.C. often referred to as the “Black Harvard.” HBCU graduates take pride in the collegiate experience they get: a transformational education that instills a connection to history and a duty to serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->“There is not only the intellectual development,” said Reid, “but the sense of who they are and a sense of purpose that comes in. Almost a calling, a belief that they’ve gotta ‘lift as they climb’.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UNCF officials did not suggest outright racism in the lack of African-American high-tech leadership, and they did not attempt to lay blame on anyone for the current state of affairs. Attendees focused on building a new network among themselves for what they called ICE: Innovation, Commercialization and Entrepreneurship. The goal is to help HBCU students (African-American and not) and faculty turn their innovations into businesses. Sessions involved meet-and-greets with tech industry leaders, panels for sharing best practices, a reception at Facebook in Menlo Park, crash courses in how Silicon Valley does business and a visit to Stanford’s \u003ca href=\"http://dschool.stanford.edu/\">d.school\u003c/a>, a design institute that teaches the problem-solving method known as “design thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The summit is part of a larger initiative in the coming years, and if the partnership works as intended, the complexion of the tech sector could start looking a lot more like the nation of consumers it serves. That might also make good business sense, too: African-Americans and Hispanics are prolific users of consumer technology, especially \u003ca href=\"http://pewinternet.org/Commentary/2012/March/Pew-Internet-Social-Networking-full-detail.aspx\">social media\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next Google, the next Facebook, the next Twitter lies in the heads of kids and youth that may or may not look like the majority of folks (in Silicon Valley),” said Chad Womack, who leads the College Fund’s Merck Science Initiative. “But that’s okay. Because ultimately we want an inclusive economy and an economy that grows where all boats are lifted, not just one boat or another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to reporter Joshua Johnson’s interview with United Negro College Fund’s senior vice president Karl Reid here:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F118161343&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"640\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float: right\">\u003ca title=\"Powered by Embedly\" href=\"http://embed.ly/code?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fkqed%2Fhistorically-black-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca class=\"media-attribution-link\" href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

Attendees focused on building a new network among themselves for what they called ICE: Innovation, Commercialization and Entrepreneurship. The goal is to help HBCU students (African-American and not) and faculty turn their innovations into businesses. Sessions involved meet-and-greets with tech industry leaders, panels for sharing best practices, a reception at Facebook in Menlo Park, crash courses in how Silicon Valley does business and a visit to Stanford’s \u003ca href=\"http://dschool.stanford.edu/\">d.school\u003c/a>, a design institute that teaches the problem-solving method known as “design thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The summit is part of a larger initiative in the coming years, and if the partnership works as intended, the complexion of the tech sector could start looking a lot more like the nation of consumers it serves. That might also make good business sense, too: African-Americans and Hispanics are prolific users of consumer technology, especially \u003ca href=\"http://pewinternet.org/Commentary/2012/March/Pew-Internet-Social-Networking-full-detail.aspx\">social media\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The next Google, the next Facebook, the next Twitter lies in the heads of kids and youth that may or may not look like the majority of folks (in Silicon Valley),” said Chad Womack, who leads the College Fund’s Merck Science Initiative. “But that’s okay.

So, on the journalist end another code name will pop up, and the journalist can then download the encrypted file and decrypt it. Along the way, all of the metadata and content that normally gets collected if you were to email somebody the same document is not actually there. The system doesn’t collect that. And if the source wants, they can even stay anonymous from the journalists themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: The use of “anonymous sources” can be point of contention in newsrooms. There are concerns that they weaken journalists’ credibility, for example. Do you hear concerns that having a system that makes it easier to be an unnamed source will actually encourage more demands for anonymity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. I think that’s definitely a concern when you’re talking about government officials, particularly high-level government officials, who give background briefings to reporters to basically give the administration’s public position without attaching their name to it. But I think that’s an entirely different category than whistle-blowers who are trying to expose wrongdoing and who are keeping their name anonymous so that they can protect themselves from being fired or going to jail. There are definitely two types of anonymous sources, and the former type that I mentioned is certainly a concern when we’re talking about journalism and not wanting to take government claims at face value. But to keep a source anonymous who is revealing important information that the public has the right to know, and to protect them from retribution, is definitely an important attribute of journalism and always has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: I read that Edward Snowden’s leak of NSA (National Security Administration) files actually prompted you to make improvements to the security of your system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Yes, absolutely. The New York Times did a huge story based on the Edward Snowden documents that talked about all the ways the NSA has tried to weaken certain encryption services over the years. Not just weaken them so they can surveil suspected terrorists, but just weaken them across the board so everybody’s communications are less secure. So, we’re made a couple changes to the architecture of the system that will hopefully make it more secure in the case of any sort of state-sponsored attack, whether it be NSA or otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: About a dozen or so news organizations are planning to implement this system?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Yes, so far. Actually, everybody we asked beforehand has said yes. There’s about a half-dozen major news organizations we approached before we launched, and we will, in the coming months, we are not only offering the service as an open-source project, so everybody can download it and set it up for free, but they can also modify it in any way they wish, but we’re actually going to media organizations to help them install it, because the installation is a little complex.

So, on the journalist end another code name will pop up, and the journalist can then download the encrypted file and decrypt it. Along the way, all of the metadata and content that normally gets collected if you were to email somebody the same document is not actually there. The system doesn’t collect that. And if the source wants, they can even stay anonymous from the journalists themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: The use of “anonymous sources” can be point of contention in newsrooms. There are concerns that they weaken journalists’ credibility, for example. Do you hear concerns that having a system that makes it easier to be an unnamed source will actually encourage more demands for anonymity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. I think that’s definitely a concern when you’re talking about government officials, particularly high-level government officials, who give background briefings to reporters to basically give the administration’s public position without attaching their name to it. But I think that’s an entirely different category than whistle-blowers who are trying to expose wrongdoing and who are keeping their name anonymous so that they can protect themselves from being fired or going to jail. There are definitely two types of anonymous sources, and the former type that I mentioned is certainly a concern when we’re talking about journalism and not wanting to take government claims at face value. But to keep a source anonymous who is revealing important information that the public has the right to know, and to protect them from retribution, is definitely an important attribute of journalism and always has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: I read that Edward Snowden’s leak of NSA (National Security Administration) files actually prompted you to make improvements to the security of your system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Yes, absolutely. The New York Times did a huge story based on the Edward Snowden documents that talked about all the ways the NSA has tried to weaken certain encryption services over the years. Not just weaken them so they can surveil suspected terrorists, but just weaken them across the board so everybody’s communications are less secure. So, we’re made a couple changes to the architecture of the system that will hopefully make it more secure in the case of any sort of state-sponsored attack, whether it be NSA or otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: About a dozen or so news organizations are planning to implement this system?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Yes, so far. Actually, everybody we asked beforehand has said yes. There’s about a half-dozen major news organizations we approached before we launched, and we will, in the coming months, we are not only offering the service as an open-source project, so everybody can download it and set it up for free, but they can also modify it in any way they wish, but we’re actually going to media organizations to help them install it, because the installation is a little complex. At the same time we’re going to train journalists on how to use it, and also just train them how to use secure communications more easily and better protect their sources, in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Mr. Timm thanks for talking to us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Timm\u003c/strong>: Thank you for having me.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It had raised some $13 million in venture funding from investors like Sequoia, Horizons Ventures, Motorola and Magma Venture Partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rationale for the deal is easy to see on a few levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has been focusing on building up its mobile business, which is seeing the most growth and is the platform that most users in developing markets are turning to first when signing up for and using the social networking service. So this means beefing up Facebook’s mobile operations in general, but also for making Facebook as usable as possible in these emerging markets. Today, Onavo’s technology is focused only on smartphones rather than feature phones, but what it does on those devices is help users track how well those devices work, in terms of battery life and so on.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/14/facebook-heads-to-israel-with-onavo-buy-gets-a-leg-up-on-mobile-data-compression-and-analytics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VentureBeat\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Onavo’s core technology uses proxy servers to reroute and compress your mobile data. The company also offers standalone apps like Onavo Count, which claims to offer a more accurate view of your data usage than other apps. The company’s Insights product is particularly interesting — with its close view of how exactly people use apps, it can reveal things like retention and usage figures that normally only the publishers themselves can access. Making that information a bit more public is valuable for the competition (and reporters like me).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/14/facebook-acquires-onavo-and-a-foothold-in-israel/?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times Bits blog\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The big draw for Facebook is Onavo’s pioneering data compression technology, which helps smartphones cut data consumption as much as 80 percent. Such compression is vital to the goals of Internet.org, an organization started by Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, in August that is trying to offer mobile Internet access free or at very low cost to the about four billion people globally who do not have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘We expect Onavo’s data compression technology to play a central role in our mission to connect more people to the Internet, and their analytic tools will help us provide better, more efficient mobile products,’’ a Facebook spokesman said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last, here’s the Associated Press writeup of Facebooks Onavo acquisition:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JERUSALEM (AP) — Facebook says it is acquiring an Israeli mobile technology startup and opening its first office in Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook said in a statement Monday that Israeli mobile utility application developer Onavo would help the social media giant create better mobile products and help connect more people around the world to the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Onavo was founded three years ago and produces technology that compresses content so mobile users can use more data.

It had raised some $13 million in venture funding from investors like Sequoia, Horizons Ventures, Motorola and Magma Venture Partners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rationale for the deal is easy to see on a few levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has been focusing on building up its mobile business, which is seeing the most growth and is the platform that most users in developing markets are turning to first when signing up for and using the social networking service. So this means beefing up Facebook’s mobile operations in general, but also for making Facebook as usable as possible in these emerging markets. Today, Onavo’s technology is focused only on smartphones rather than feature phones, but what it does on those devices is help users track how well those devices work, in terms of battery life and so on.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/14/facebook-heads-to-israel-with-onavo-buy-gets-a-leg-up-on-mobile-data-compression-and-analytics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VentureBeat\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Onavo’s core technology uses proxy servers to reroute and compress your mobile data. The company also offers standalone apps like Onavo Count, which claims to offer a more accurate view of your data usage than other apps. The company’s Insights product is particularly interesting — with its close view of how exactly people use apps, it can reveal things like retention and usage figures that normally only the publishers themselves can access. Making that information a bit more public is valuable for the competition (and reporters like me).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/14/facebook-acquires-onavo-and-a-foothold-in-israel/?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times Bits blog\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The big draw for Facebook is Onavo’s pioneering data compression technology, which helps smartphones cut data consumption as much as 80 percent. Such compression is vital to the goals of Internet.org, an organization started by Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, in August that is trying to offer mobile Internet access free or at very low cost to the about four billion people globally who do not have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘‘We expect Onavo’s data compression technology to play a central role in our mission to connect more people to the Internet, and their analytic tools will help us provide better, more efficient mobile products,’’ a Facebook spokesman said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Last, here’s the Associated Press writeup of Facebooks Onavo acquisition:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
