This year, I’m much more clear about the directions my work is going in, and what I’m looking for at NTC. Last year I was just re-emerging from having taken a break to go to seminary, and not quite exactly sure what I was doing. And of course, there is Penguin Day !!

Every year, the NTEN community comes together to raise enough money to send staff from small nonprofits to the NTC. The silliness is, of course, a means to an end: creating a community devoted to transforming technology into social change. The NTC is a huge part of that. We've raised nearly $5,000 so far.

Our comments are moderated, and mean and/or inappropriate comments will be laughed at by NTEN staff, then promptly deleted. Q: Will the highest rated sessions or the ones with the most votes be the ones featured at the 2014 NTC?
