If your org uses Facebook to raise money for animal adoptions, even if 50 shares are a record for you, is that a good number comparatively?

There are more than a few things to do at the Nonprofit Technology Conference. Since I started working on the NTC -- and its predecessor, the RoundUp -- almost a decade ago, my very favorite part has been the Day of Service. It's simple: We work with fabulous local hosts to recruit NTC-area orgs who need some help.

We refuse to give member contact information to NTC Sponsors & Exhibitors and tend to leave decisions like "Do you want to be in our database?" To hear that other nonprofit organizations aren't doing the same and even go so far as to scour their in-boxes in an effort to beef up their database came as a surprise.

You found you had a knack for technology and you became your org's go-to person for computer problems. At this perhaps unexpected career turn, how do you become a bona-fide Nonprofit Techie? In the beginning, maybe you just had patience, perseverance, and a love of -- or at least a lack of fear of -- computers and the Internet.

As Stefan Wray posited in a drupal.org post , “The capacity or ability for a nonprofit to create and maintain its own Drupal-based CMS / web site … is a function of, and proportional to, its size (measured in staff and budget) and (or) the amount of technical know-how that its staff possesses.”. Ask around and get lots of references!

One thing I keep hearing over and over again is how frustrating it is to be from a small organization (under $1 million budget) at the NTC. You have to network and socialize and put your org's best foot forward. There's no better place for that than the NTC. You have to get on their radar. Just ask Farra.
