Howdy Rider Friends,

I am delighted to tell you about an exciting new Aspiration event!

The 2007 Nonprofit Software Development Summit will be a
first-of-its-kind convening to bring together the range of
developers, technologists, managers, eRiders, integrators, users and
other practitioners who self-identify under the umbrella of
"nonprofit software development". The event will provide an
opportunity both to gather as a community and to take stock of the
field, while building connections and capacity.

Event partners working with Aspiration to design the agenda and
sessions include Blue Oxen Associates, Brattleboro Technology
Collective, CivicSpace, CiviCRM, DotOrganize, Drupal, Full Throttle,
Fund for the City of New York, Idealware, Nonprofit Open Source
Initiative (NOSI), ONE/Northwest, OpenID, PICnet, Project Zero,
Radical Designs, Salesforce.com Foundation and Zac Mutrux Consulting.
More partners are being added every day, and we welcome your
involvement in the planning!

The Summit will be hosted in the Oakland, California from February
21st to 23rd, 2007. Additional code sprints and collaborations will
be scheduled in the 2 days following the event.

The Summit will have as its primary goals the following:

* To convene and strengthen connections between the networks of
stakeholders in the nonprofit software spectrum, providing a fun and
creative environment for celebrating successes and leadership in the field.
* To share skills and knowledge in a highly collaborative,
peer-to-peer fashion.
* To map and discuss what is available and what is missing across the
nonprofit software landscape in specific software "verticals", and to
posit solutions for addressing the gaps.
* To offer a point of entry for software developers interested in
offering their skills to nonprofit sector.

The agenda will take a concrete and hands-on approach to topics and
challenges, focusing on transferring skills and process knowledge in
interactive and fun ways. Panels and slideware will be in short
supply, supplanted by participant-driven collaborations and
small-group formats.

Complete details including a preliminary agenda and background can be
found at http://aspirationtech.org/events/devsummit, and you are
welcome to add your agenda thoughts to the event wiki at
http://devsummit.aspirationtech.org.

We look forward to seeing many of you in February! Let me know of any
questions.

And *please* forward this to any lists or individuals who might be
interested in joining the fun :^)

thanks & peace,
gunner

About Aspiration

Aspiration is a global leader in the design and delivery of
innovative technology gatherings for nonprofit and nongovernmental
audiences. Our event philosophy and facilitation focus on maximizing
collaboration and peer sharing, while making sparing use of
one-to-many and several-to-many session formats such as presentations
and panels. We believe the ultimate potential and power of any
convening lie in the collective untapped knowledge and experience of
the participants, and we strive to tap that vast store by maximizing
dialog, creativity and idea exchange.

Over the past several years, we have convened and co-organized over
35 highly interactive events across the globe
(www.aspirationtech.org/events/history). We focus agendas around
user-oriented dialog that connects all the stakeholders in software
design and development, and model our events to reflect the diverse
and network-oriented nature of the communities we convene.

Aspiration is also developing the Social Source Commons
(www.socialsourcecommons.org), a platform for collaboratively mapping
and documenting the universe of software tools relevant to nonprofits
and non-governmental organizations.

As part of our community building work, Aspiration operates the San
Francisco Nonprofit Technology Center (www.sftechcenter.org). The
Center is home to 6 organizations working in nonprofit and social
change technology, and offers training and meeting space as well.

For more information about our work and programs, see www.aspirationtech.org.

Heh.  Sorry for reposting this before reading past traffic. :-)

Anyway, the Plone community will be represented.  But the more, the
merrier.  Our friends from Drupal and Joomla will certainly be there in
force, looking to build mindshare amongst NGO techies.

best,
jon
