NTEN is trying to get a handle on all of this, and find out what people use, and how much they like what they use. It’s such an interesting space, and there are some really intriguing things happening with software in that space. I can’t wait to get my grubby little fingers on the data on CiviCRM and Salesforce.

Unlike CiviCRM, which is targeted to nonprofits, SugarCRM is a system targeted toward sales in for-profit companies. It also gets kudos from NTEN’s satisfaction survey (it came in third, after CiviCRM and Salesforce.) It has three versions: Enterprise, Professional, and Community Edition. 2 admin 04.20.08

I want to give huge props to Holly and all of the NTEN crew for putting on a fabulous conference. And, as a member of the NTEN board, I’m really proud of what’s been accomplished.

It’s a conference that is an event of the Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet. I’ve never been – online politics has never really been my focus. But I’m quite looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to talking about free and open source software to this audience. {
