Where I’ll be at NTC

April 22, 2009

NTC is coming, and I don’t have to pack! That’s a good thing. But I will be BARTing my way into SF everyday, from Saturday for Penguin Day, Sunday through Tuesday for NTC, and Wed and Thursday for CiviCRM Developer Camp. I’m very much looking forward to all of it, even though it seems like it’s going to be an exhausting 6 days.

I’d love to meet new folks and see as many old friends as possible, so I figured I’d share where I’ll be during these days, and perhaps we can meet up. You can email me, @pearbear on twitter, or give me a text message or call … if you know my cell, that is. :-)

Looking forward to NTC 2009

January 14, 2009

I love NTC (NTEN’s Nonprofit Technology Conference). I would be dishonest if I said I didn’t have a sweet reminiscence for the Circiut Rider Roundups of old. But they are long gone. As fields often do, ours grew up and professionalized. And what has taken it’s place is valuable to a much wider audience (and a much larger one!) And, this year, for the very first time, I live in the same city in which NTC is taking place. Hurrah!

So, a few things to say about what I’m looking forward to from April 25th to April 30th:

  • April 25: Penguin Day SF! It’s happening the day before NTC this year, not the day after. Gather with folks and spend an exciting day peer-sharing about free and open source software in nonprofit organizations. Any level of background in the topic is welcome, and everyone learns.
  • April 26-28: NTC. Another jam packed year full of great panels and expertise sharing. I’ll be involved in two panels this year. (And lots of conversations on the side.)
  • April 29-30: Hopefully, there will be a CiviCRM developer camp. Yay! I’ve been using CiviCRM for a year or so, and have begun to get involved in implementation. Looking forward to digging deeper in.

And email me if you want to have coffee, or lunch, or a side conversation in the Science Fair.

And, you can help folks get to NTC!
