A theory of practice, in my mind, outlines the methods and ideals behind how I get work done with clients. My theory of practice is different than my consulting philosophy. They certainly are consistent with each other, but they are distinct. This theory includes the following elements that I think are key to my work: Listening. Be Helpful.

WebHuddle is free, and open source. It does mean that everyone who is involved in a webinar needs to install Skype – but that seems to be a minor issue, to my mind. This is what I want: The community edition of DimDim that integrates with an open source VOIP system and Moodle. That can share my Linux desktop.

In my country, there still are no good hosting companies, though our internet speed and ping inside the whole country, is better than the most of europe, that’s why I use e-insites. 2 Brian 11.23.07 Be Helpful.

There are some really great men who hang out too, who don’t mind being around a bunch of geeky women. This community has been around for a while, and its full of women who know their way around a linux kernel (some of them even get paid to hack it,) and can answer just about any question on Apache mod_rewrite I can come up with.

And I know that many nonprofits use software designed for corporations and for-profit entities, such as Quickbooks (although I know there is the NonProfit Books variant.) As you well know, one of the things that has been one of the most important to me is the availability of good software for nonprofits that’s built for them in mind.

September 17, 2007 There is an interesting discussion happening between Holly Ross, soon to be ED of NTEN, and Allan Benamer , about web statistics, and whether or not nonprofits should be “transparent&# and publish their web statistics. It’s been there since 9/7/2007, two days after my call for getting people on Quantcast.

April 7, 2007 I had heard about this new journal a while ago, and it was sitting in some small corner of my brain, waiting for me to pay attention. Katrin Verclas (the Executive Director of NTEN, for those who don’t know) was eager to know if there was any way to make it open and pushed hard for it. 4 Sonia Lyris 04.09.07
