We would love to see lots of you here, and we'd be most grateful if you spread the word by forwarding/blogging/re-posting! thanks & peace, gunner 2008 Nonprofit Software Development Summit - Call for Participants and Projects! November 17-19, Oakland, California Are you a developer writing code to support nonprofit needs? Are you a nonprofit user with strong opinions about what software you need developed to empower your programs and operations? Are you someone who just cares about seeing better technology developed to address the broad range of issues we face as a global community? The 2008 Nonprofit Software Development Summit will provide a highly collaborative environment in which to discuss who's creating what and what is still needed in the realm of nonprofit software. And if you're building innovative tools for the sector and have learnings to share, we'd love to invite you to facilitate a session around your area of passion and focus. The Summit will take place November 17-19 in Oakland, California. Like the first Dev Summit in 2007, it will offer a unique and powerful opportunity for those building software tools and web applications for nonprofits and social justice causes to meet, share knowledge, and find common ground for collaboration, code sharing, and interoperability.
