I left inspired, yet I also felt there is still a lot of work we need to do to help our peers in volunteer coordination put these ideas into practice. At the same time, volunteer service organizations need to rethink how they work and what technology they use. Collaboration could take place on virtual or crowd-sourced projects.

In addition to running a youth organization or a job training program or an environmental advocacy campaign, you are also running an information and technology system on which you do your work. Chances are you probably already do this with Yahoo Mail or Google Docs or Flickr or Salesforce or Twitter or Facebook.

Cloud computing just doesn’t make any sense, or work in any reasonable way without it (have you ever tried to use Gmail on dial up?) Just wanted to mention that we’re working right now on a tighter integration service to Gliffy that should allow developers to embed Gliffy diagrams in a wide variety of applications.

Colorado Project. I feel that my technology training for nonprofits work is more like a calling for me than simply a job or career. It has a lot of features , but most importantly it grabs hashtags or keywords from Twitter (and Facebook) and dumps into a google doc spreadsheet with other data points.

" The deliberate style of technology work known as the "waterfall approach" (first solidify strategy, then requirements, then design, etc.) has been countered by " agile development ," wherein the team works on incremental pieces of a project with a general roadmap but no "done" point.

I know a lot of the free site tools, wikis like wetpaint.com, keep trying to move to become more social, and let the audience/membership interact more – that is definitely related. at 1:18 pm Timely post, I am currently doing at pretty large scale project for a client and those are the exact issues I am determining right now.

What's a wiki? Wikis are websites that are extremely easy for anyone (even you!) While there are some criticisms of its consensus-based model for information-vetting, there's no doubt of its success as a collaborative knowledge-creation project. Its success can distort understanding of what makes a wiki work.

Yammer works like Twitter--people send out short messages that anyone can read or follow. Do you need a way to report, document, and share day-to-day information on a project or within your department? Whereas blogs are a good reporting mechanism, wikis are a better collaborative tool. I like Wik.is

2) Get a wiki. Use it not only to advertise your services, but also to share files with clients, point to resources, clarify your working style/methods/contract, etc. It’s easy and cheap, accessible from anywhere, and will help you define your work. (3) make sure the client “owns&# the project.

Is that why we're seeing so many charity online stores like the one from Campus Kitchens Project and Amnesty International. You can also use Network For Good Good Card , it works like a debit card and the recipient gets to donate to any charity of their choice. That also means good news for the shopping for charity programs.
