NTEN Member Buzz Round-Up: Shout-outs, Contests, Wikis

Flickr: cogdogblogFlickr: cogdogblogJudy Hallman always rocks the power of wikis for knowledge aggregation and collaboration. She just provided a nice summary of her 501 Tech Club Triangle meeting notes in wiki format, so others can help add to and annotate them. There's a lot of good info there on nonprofit technology topics, so even if you're not from the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, you might want to take a gander at the notes!

Charity Dynamics announced record growth this year -- good news considering the national economic trends during the same period. They're going to be at the NTC, so can meet them at the Science Fair!

In contest news, NTEN member organization ZeroDivide has launched a great contest that combines poetry, social media, and good causes: the ZD Technology Haiku Contest!

There's still time to cast your votes for the 2009 Nonprofit Video Awards, co-sponsored by See3 Communications, DoGooder.TV, and Flip Video Spotlight (who will be giving the winners custom Flip video cameras as "trophies.")  The winners will be announced at the NTC.

Finally, I love it when NTEN members pat each other on the back: Michelle Murrain gives ONE/Northwest a nice shout-out for having a helpful nptech blog.

2009 NTENny Spotlight: David Krumlauf

David works for the Pierce Family Foundation, based in Chicago, and helps 7 NPOs with their tech needs. He's been a great support to NTEN and the community, and we voted him "Most Likey to Be Spotted by Your Mom Wearing an NTEN Hat" -- because, well, he's that much of an NTEN superstar and ambassador.  See his NTEN meet-our-members profile to see him wearing that hat.
