I don’t usually title my tech blog entries with quite that sort of title, but that’s how I feel after spending 3 days with one of the most fabulous groups of people I have had the honor of spending time with in recent memory. I was at the Nonprofit Software Development Summit, which was an event full of great sessions, meeting neat people of all sorts, and having lots of geeky fun.
It was a great combination of really detailed tech learning (like I learned a really cool trick using JQuery to generate rounded corners, which is generally not an easy thing to achieve,) and big picture thinking. I got to learn a ton, and contribute a bit. Sessions I went to included:
- Open Source Ecosystems
- Customizing and Extending CiviCRM
- What is Ethical Consulting (not so surprising, I facilitated that one.)
- Designing RESTful APIs
- CiviCRM for Advanced Users
- Advanced Drupal Theming
- Business Models
- Tech Cooperatives
- The Power Vested in JQuery
- Designers & Developers and Empowering Clients (combined session, I co-facilitated)
There are lots of great notes there if you missed those sessions, and I’m looking forward to reading the notes from other sessions I wanted to go to, but missed. Now, I’m just going to sleep.
