NTEN keeps surprising me with cool stuff for nonprofit tech peeps. The application deadline for this year’s prize: September 1, 2008. Last year’s winner was Barry Warsaw, lead developer of the awesome Mailman mailing list manager. Ruby Sinreich is a new phenomenon ! You go girl! And I’m on the board!

As a 10,000 footer, NTEN’s new Donor Management System Survey is of keen interest. Mostly because, although I actually know the field pretty well, it’s at the 10,000 foot level, rather than the 50 ft level that clients really need. There is, of necessity, a lot of overlap betwen CRM systems and Donor Management Systems.
