Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

NOVEMBER 8, 2007

It wasn’t so long after that that virtual hosting companies became ubiquitous, and affordable for nonprofits. I even remember writing a grant to some federal agency that probably no longer exists to help create a local infrastructure to get nonprofits online. When was that?

However, some webinar platforms have a real-time polling feature, the virtual equivalent of asking people to raise their hands if. Learning the tools is like learning a music instrument, start slowly and work up speed and practice. I love the way NTEN does these sessions. I emphasized the importance of knowing your audience.

I had good intentions, like virtually all software vendors do. We like what we build/sell (generally, I’m sure there are exceptions.) We think our particular products or service is the best around, or, at least, provides our clients with some unique value.

I set up a mysql database in my standard generic virtual hosting setup, copied the downloaded and unzipped Joomla folder into my webspace by FTP, and fired up my browser. I hear Joomla is dead easy to install, and I need dead easy right now, so let’s try it. Well, guess what? Installing Joomla is dead easy. Um, sorta.

It installs easily on generic virtual hosts, and has a very sweet, eye-candy full admin interface. Mambo is way less popular than Joomla at this point. If you want to try and get a small website going for your organization – Joomla is a good place to start. It will probably take you less time than a generic HTML site will. {

I probably will always have a Linux desktop around, even if it ends up being a virtual machine, for the varied (small, at this point) development projects I have going. it is particularly sad because its still virtually impossible to spend grant money on GNU/Linux support, people like to fund shiny hologram boxes.

I listened to music to get into a meditative state. NTEN's Holly Ross's Birthday Blog Post. Donna Arraiga whipped me up a Khmer Dessert on her food blog, Eddie Harran sent me virtual tim-tams from Australia. After a nervous giggle, I shared with them that donating and volunteering does the same thing as chocolate to your brain.
