- Bio:
- Andrew Hoppin co-founded and helps to manage the NASA CoLab program at NASA Ames Research Center, which aims to increase efficiency and transparency at NASA by building new partnerships between NASA and external communities of practice such as the entrepreneurial technology community, the global open-source software movement, and constituents in the virtual world of "Second Life." In its first year, CoLab has been extensively covered in the media by CNET, WIRED, MSNBC, Seed Magazine, the BBC, Federal Computing Week, and many other media outlets.
Andrew also serves as an online strategy consultant to leading technology-driven non-profit organizations such as the Craigslist Foundation.
As an entrepreneur, Andrew has co-founded and directed business development for GoodStorm (recently acquired by Zazzle), a progressive eCommerce venture that helps organizations raise money to support themselves, Trellon, a leading open-source software consulting firm for online community building, and Moonfront, an aerospace design consulting firm. He also directed business strategy for CivicSpace Labs, a developer of software and communities for online organizing and advocacy, and, as a consultant, executed marketing campaigns for leading technology startups such as mobile messaging provider Jaiku (now Google) and online geographic data provider N Space Labs.
As a grassroots political organizer, in 2003, Andrew founded the largest local group in the Draft Clark movement, New York for Clark, and later joined the Wesley Clark for President campaign staff to help manage the campaign's voter data and the nation's first open-source campaign software volunteer program. He also co-created the "RootsCamp" political meeting series in Second Life in 2006, and the Yearly Kos "virtual convention" in Second Life in 2007.
Andrew serves on the Advisory Boards of Netroots Nation (formerly Yearly Kos), the Space Generation Foundation, the "San Jose Technology Museum's" Experimental Exhibit Design Program, Yenza and the New Organizing Institute. He also represents the Space Generation Advisory Council at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC) in New York.
Andrew is a graduate of the NASA Academy and the International Space University, and holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Brown University and Berkeley in Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science, Policy, and Management respectively.
