. —– The first week of April was like an annual family reunion for the nonprofit technology community as the 2012 Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) converged on San Francisco. But at this year’s NTC, the conversations about email were much less about its impending departure and more about exploring its evolution.

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 !!

It makes accessible the tools you need to engage a community, offer services, scale up activities and sustain projects. My favorite part of the NTC is getting to sit down, in person, with so many different people and learn about their work. What you’d like to talk about at the NTC. How to Win. What you are working on.

In the last month, NTEN staff have rested and recuperated (Jessica even traveled to China!), and debriefed a whole lot of the NTC. We also read through all of the NTC evaluations! We didn''t want to split up these post-NTC conversations so have sacrificed brevity in the hopes of completeness. Want to re-live the magic?

The State of Nonprofit Data report was released this week (hat tip to Ted Fickes ). Idealware and NTEN prepared the report based on a survey in April 2012 with nearly 400 nonprofit organizations about how they manage and use data. The report found that nonprofits are either doing a lot with their metrics or not much at all.

That leaves a relatively small sliver raised via the third party tools typically available on social media. I give them credit for sticking with it and pivoting to a very compelling tool [wishes.causes.com].

In that scenario, nonprofit workers feel like technology is something they have to deal with to do the "real work," not something that can make their work lives and their organization better at meeting its mission (which is what NTEN believes, so strongly they wrote a book about it ). to get success stories. is going end-of-life!"

I recommend having a full soup-to-nuts inventory of everything -- PCs, software, cabling, servers, peripherals, etc -- but for this scenario, I mean a simple list of your core solutions and tools. If a value adding tool stopped working, it would radically impact how you work. Do we have the right tools to fundraise?
