So, what will Bill do?

Through the discussion of Bill Gates announcement to slowly phase himself out of the daily operations of Microsoft, we’ve heard that he plans on focusing his time and efforts on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. But what exactly does that mean?

If you’re not aware of the types of things the foundation is involved in, maybe this will help:

• The Gates Millennium Scholars
• Council on Library and Information Resources
• $30M Gates Foundation Grant Aims To Greatly Reduce Visceral Leishmaniasis (Black Fever) Deaths, Institute For OneWorld Health
• Global Program Makes Major Strides in Helping to Increase Immunization Coverage and Safety in Africa and Asia

Looks like he’s been pretty productive and helpful to society and hasn’t even been focusing his efforts on the foundation. Let’s see what happens now.
