It’s important for our community to authenticate that our users actually identify as women so we leverage FB to confirm that the women are real people. We appreciate the feedback and are already thinking of using other ways to sign up!
Present enables you to start, discover and participate in location-based conversations in real time. There's really nothing like it, let alone a network just for women!

Ugh. Android used Harmony because OpenJDK didn't exist yet. As Android's first core library lead, I personally integrated Harmony into Android, and I'm ecstatic to see Android and OpenJDK share the same library code. This will greatly simplify contributing enhancements.

I used an old Android phone for my garage door server: https://plus.google.com/+BobLee/posts/7LyfdV3PC5X
It runs the Jetty web server. When I was the core library lead for the Android platform ('06-'09), we ran Jetty's test suite as part of Android's acceptance tests, so it works great!
Why don't people use phones as servers more often? They're overkill when you can get a Raspberry Pi for ~$50. You typically don't need an LCD, touch screen, accelerometer, cell radio, etc. for a home server.
Also, Android runs a heavily stripped down version of Linux, so running off-the-shelf server software can be tricky.

You must tell the agency first and leave all further client communications to them. The client is theirs not yours.
