Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

JANUARY 29, 2008

I like proposals that focus more on the project, and show clear understanding of the project. Yes, indeed, for some clients, and some situations, there are appropriate proprietary solutions. And I’ve come to understand what I value about some development shops, and what I don’t value about others.

At Omidyar Network there’s been an effort to write proposals for 9 $5,000 grants. Watching the collaboration of people across time zones developing these proposals has really been inspiring to me. I found it through Beth’s Blog. Peer production is amazing and wonderful. But peer production also scares people silly.

Have Fun - Do Good

AUGUST 9, 2007

Nobody could afford you, or nobody's big enough to hire a promotion director. Then you have to put together a proposal as fast as you can, and Michael has written the bible for people who want to do book proposals, How to Write a Book Proposal, and put together a promotion plan. We'll do some labyrinth walking to music.

Museum 2.0

JUNE 6, 2008

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. Second Life was a better community space for The Tech Virtual than the Web.

Jessica Holliday, NTEN’s Operations Director, learned a lot at the Do Good Data Conference in Chicago last week and chose to share some highlights with us. One of my first jobs in tech 1,000 years ago was as “Text Production Lead” on a music encyclopedia CD-ROM (Google it, kids).

This is the moment for nonprofits to stop accepting proposals with custom CMS, and to make it clear in the RFP that a custom CMS will not be acceptable. Unfortunately, relationships with vendors go bad, and being stuck with data in a custom CMS makes migration away from a bad relationship that much harder.

Artist as Problem Solver vs. Artist as Problem Explorer Mark Allen (director of Machine Project) and I have talked about this issue several times, and Mark articulates it beautifully. T]he sticking point in everyone’s mind is that what you proposed was not an artwork. And the projects themselves are brilliant.

As far as ‘buzz director’ goes… I do need to unpick what I mean a little more (a *lot* more). I agree regarding music. Early days – proposal stage… but will happen! You’ll recall this interview , and this post , and this one. Maybe a section on this blog, or a wiki, pulling the idea together[?]
