<pre>Howdy M3P allies,
First, let me offer my apologies for letting this list stay silent
for so long! We've been blessedly busy doing fun tech stuff all over
the globe, which has caused us to neglect M3P event planning.
We're still planning on hosting the M3P event in 2007, but the
organizing partners (Aspiration and Fund for the City of New York)
have decided to do an incremental piece before convening M3P proper.
As described below, we're hosting the 2007 Nonprofit Software
Development Summit in February 2007. We're going to focus on Software
Development Project Management in one of the tracks. The plan is to
build out this one track for the M3P event, and then use that to
templatize and plan tracks for other types of technology project
management at M3P.
We hope some of you will join us for this seminal gathering; we are
trying to bring together disparate communities who have never
convened as a community before.
And now onto the blurbage:
The 2007 Nonprofit Software Development Summit will be a
first-of-its-kind convening to bring together the range of
developers, technologists, managers, eRiders, integrators, users and
other practitioners who self-identify under the umbrella of
"nonprofit software development". The event will provide an
opportunity both to gather as a community and to take stock of the
field, while building connections and capacity.
Event partners working with Aspiration to design the agenda and
sessions include Blue Oxen Associates, Brattleboro Technology
Collective, CivicSpace, CiviCRM, DotOrganize, Drupal, Full Throttle,
Fund for the City of New York, Idealware, Nonprofit Open Source
Initiative (NOSI), ONE/Northwest, OpenID, PICnet, Project Zero,
Radical Designs, Salesforce.com Foundation and Zac Mutrux Consulting.
More partners are being added every day, and we welcome your
involvement in the planning!
The Summit will be hosted in the Oakland, California from February
21st to 23rd, 2007. Additional code sprints and collaborations will
be scheduled in the 2 days following the event.
The Summit will have as its primary goals the following:
* To convene and strengthen connections between the networks of
stakeholders in the nonprofit software spectrum, providing a fun and
creative environment for celebrating successes and leadership in the field.
* To share skills and knowledge in a highly collaborative,
peer-to-peer fashion.
* To map and discuss what is available and what is missing across the
nonprofit software landscape in specific software "verticals", and to
posit solutions for addressing the gaps.
* To offer a point of entry for software developers interested in
offering their skills to nonprofit sector.
The agenda will take a concrete and hands-on approach to topics and
challenges, focusing on transferring skills and process knowledge in
interactive and fun ways. Panels and slideware will be in short
supply, supplanted by participant-driven collaborations and
small-group formats.
Complete details including a preliminary agenda and background can be
found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://aspirationtech.org/events/devsummit">http://aspirationtech.org/events/devsummit</a>, and you are

We look forward to seeing many of you in February! Let me know of any
questions.
And *please* forward this to any lists or individuals who might be
interested in joining the fun :^)
thanks & peace,

About Aspiration
Aspiration is a global leader in the design and delivery of
innovative technology gatherings for nonprofit and nongovernmental
audiences. Our event philosophy and facilitation focus on maximizing
collaboration and peer sharing, while making sparing use of
one-to-many and several-to-many session formats such as presentations
and panels. We believe the ultimate potential and power of any
convening lie in the collective untapped knowledge and experience of
the participants, and we strive to tap that vast store by maximizing
dialog, creativity and idea exchange.
Over the past several years, we have convened and co-organized over
35 highly interactive events across the globe
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.aspirationtech.org/events/history">www.aspirationtech.org/events/history</a>). We focus agendas around
user-oriented dialog that connects all the stakeholders in software
design and development, and model our events to reflect the diverse
and network-oriented nature of the communities we convene.
Aspiration is also developing the Social Source Commons
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.socialsourcecommons.org">www.socialsourcecommons.org</a>), a platform for collaboratively mapping
and documenting the universe of software tools relevant to nonprofits
and non-governmental organizations.
As part of our community building work, Aspiration operates the San
Francisco Nonprofit Technology Center (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.sftechcenter.org">www.sftechcenter.org</a>). The
Center is home to 6 organizations working in nonprofit and social
change technology, and offers training and meeting space as well.
