Donald,
Were there marginal, druggy, unmatriculated Stanford hippies, who were very, very far "out there"? ... not you, of course ... What do the Stanford film archives hold from these days in particular I wonder? ... could be a particularly interesting exploration in a variety of ways ...
Ah, California, and northern California, in particular ... but hippies were all over ... so many in the British Isles, for example, I would add ... O, the 1960s and '70s ... There's certain freedom in life explorations to the whole hippy trip ...
Hippies are not necessarily easy to define or thingify ... or categorize ... certain questioning of all that as well as freedom in explorations in all kinds of being ... and QMeeting frees things up in this regard, reality-wise {a de facto relaxation response meditation, ... and, in these regards, everybody is on there own trip anyway, - I've heard it said at Harbin}, as well as categorizing-wise ... Harbin warm pool too ...
Hope to be heading to Stanford in the autumn for Anthro and Law and Philosophy talks and music ... as well as vis-a-vis Friendly informed CC MIT OCW-centric accrediting World University and School ... :)

WUaS as industry standard and in all languages?
CC MIT OCW is amazing …

I'm glad to say WUaS has use of meeting space in downtown San Francisco at the Quaker Meeting/AFSC offices near Civic Center/UN Plaza 2 days a week, generally in the mornings from 8:30 - noon on Mondays and Thursdays, but sometimes in the afternoons on those days as well as a start, at least through September, and probably through the New Year, as a work and meeting space for startup Friendly-informed World University and School.
I'd like this to grow into the beginnings of a flourishing physical meeting space for interns etc. with time, with other interns all around the world, as WUaS gradually grows.
