Open Office works better on Linux than on the mac, as does thunderbird and firefox For a few things (mostly system/network tools) there are some incredibly awesome options, amazingly good for free (as in beer) software, and better than software you’d pay for.

Considering that nonprofits are increasingly being held responsible for outcomes, not just activities, it makes sense that their consultants would move in this direction, too. Definitely an interesting conversation to have. I also think that when you bill based on time, you get away from the “results&# piece of it. Be Helpful.

This community is one of Ubuntu’s great strengths, in terms of the ability to find helpful and sometimes instant support (via an incredibly active set of IRC channels.) They have mentorship programs, they are building regional networks, they have almost unparalleled bulletin board, email and IRC community support. Be Helpful.

It is an internal assessment tool which helps organizations figure out what parts of their online strategy are working, and what parts might need tweaking. If a website is the hub or an organization’s activity (a big if) then does it necessarily follow that just because the masses go there the organization best serves my needs?

This is not so far on the heels of the acquisition of Get Active by Convio. There are definitely instances where companies buy up competitors to simply shut them down but I am not convinced that this is such a case. Blackbaud has done other acquisitions in the past. And, I’m sure there are more to come.

However I wanted to record, primarily for my own sake, while fresh in my mind a recap of the social media tools we used (and other related factors) for our conference.

Finally, since the NTC is "the place to be" for nonprofits looking to put technology to use for their causes, we love trying out new tech tools for people to see in action. Overall, our move from paper evaluations to mobile evaluations was a huge success, and we definitely plan to stick with it for next year's NTC.
