At least in Massachusetts, the majority of nonprofits work with network support people who don’t focus totally on nonprofit organizations (there are some wonderful exceptions, however, of companies that focus on the sector.) No technology vendor, even the largest ones, can support everything. But I think more is needed.

I love NTC (NTEN’s Nonprofit Technology Conference). Gather with folks and spend an exciting day peer-sharing about free and open source software in nonprofit organizations. I would be dishonest if I said I didn’t have a sweet reminiscence for the Circiut Rider Roundups of old. But they are long gone.

I’m not leaving nonprofit technology, though, just this particular role – I expect to stay involved, keep connected, keep prodding and poking, and keep learning. I expect, in one way or the other, to be putting on a nonprofit hat. I have now realized I need to set it down for good.
