Technology used to be, as Jane Messeck of Microsoft Community Affairs puts it, transactional: it was about moving a document from point A to point B faster, making it easier to store and find things, making sure everyone could print. Technology was about efficiency. . Of course, technology is still about efficiency.

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’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.

As Holly wrote in the #NTCFail blog post outlining the things that didn’t go as planned at the event, we value being open and accountable at NTEN. We think it’s a major win to get that many nonprofit technologists in one place together. While we were busy catching up on sleep, we also spent a lot of time reflecting on the experience.
