Despite the tough economic times, it seems the community is really excited about the 2009 NTC. So, inspired by a little tweet from Beth Kanter , we're excited to announce a special fundraising drive to bring more folks to the NTC: we're going to raise $10,000 for an NTC Scholarship fund by February 28. Spread the Word.

Somewhere in the midst of all that, he found time to sit down and talk to me about his session at the 2009 NTC , Online Organizing for Community Organizers : And, for what it's worth, Charles says no one should miss out on the Science Fair at the NTC. We agree, Charles!

I had been looking forward to Clay Shirky 's plenary at the 2009 Nonprofit Technology Conference for a while, and he did not let me down. Keeping in theme with his almost dead-on resemblance to Tom Hanks, his words/message/thoughts resonated around the room like Forest Gump on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

The last time I saw him was in 2009 in San Francisco at the NTC. I just learned that Rob passed away , leaving behind a wife and two daughters. Finally, I was lucky enough to attend my first “roundup” in 2001 in Denver as the NTC was called in those days. That’s where I met Holly Ross.

There are some fabulous sessions proposed for the 2009 NTC , running the whole gamut of nonprofit technology, from planning to Web 2.0, That’s an interesting model, and, if the software is decent, sounds like it could be a good option for some organizations. But, of course, as with anything, look (a lot) before you leap.

This event has the potential to change the life and org of every single attendee that shows up, and that's why it will continue to be the premier nonprofit tech event for years to come.

Rather than list off the top things you can do to raise money and spread your money right now, we decided to instead put our money where our mouth is - quite literally - and make a concerted effort to help the entire nptech community by raising money online for scholarships to none other than the 2009 NTC Conference in San Francisco.

This post gives me the chance to finally write the very belated post on MPower I’ve been meaning to write since I got back from NTC. I had a great sit-down with Randy McCabe , CEO and Leo D’Angelo (CTO) of MPower at NTC. MPower is not a new product. It’s been around for quite a while, and has a solid user base.
