NTEN

I just took some time to review all, ALL of the 10 pages of sessions proposed for the 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) organized by the Nonprofit Technology Entrepreneurs' Network (NTEN).  There are some great  proposed sessions, and I encourage everyone who is considering attending to take the time to review and vote on the sessions. I always here some people grumble a little at the final agenda (before or after the conference), and this is our opportunity to really shape it.

It seems that every year there are more and more sessions at the NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC), and it is harder and harder to decide which sessions to attend.

Recently, NTEN (the Nonprofit Technology Network) released their 2008 Content Management Systems Satisfaction Report evaluating the most commonly used systems at small and medium sized organizations. The CMS systems were evaluated in five categories: Quality, Support, Delivers on Promises, Usability and Value. Drupal and Joomla! both scored the highest marks, yet Drupal had nearly twice the number of responses than the latter. Open source systems scored generally higher than commercial systems and custom systems were rated near the bottom of the pack. Kieran posted a nice summary of the report results at Drupal.org. The report is available to members of NTEN for free and to non-members at a discount rate. (CivicActions is a proud member of NTEN!)
