NetTuesday/Triangle 501 Tech Club
Triangle United Way, 2400 Perimeter Park Drive, Suite 150, Morrisville, NC
Paula Jones and Judy Hallman talked about what they learned at the NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference, San Francisco, April 26-28, 2009, from their notes. Leandra Ganko was unable to make it to the meeting but contributed her notes.
Their combined notes are at http://nccommunities.org/09NTC.
There were about 12 people and good discussion. Justis told us about Ignite Raleigh, coming up in August, see http://igniteraleigh.com/, and we talked a little about BarCamp -- there's one coming up in August at Red Hat, see http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampRDU.
We talked some about what Net Tuesday/501 Tech Clubs are and what they do. There was interest in finding out more about the clubs that work with nonprofits during the month -- what do they do? How do they find nonprofits to help? Which led to some discussion about matching volunteers with local nonprofits. There will be a followup lunch meeting June 10 to work on a statement of purpose for this group and proposals for a new name, see http://www.meetup.com/TriangleNetTuesday/calendar/10454429/.
