> Introductions to products (MailChimp, CivicCRM, Twilio, etc. not sales pitches), introductions to solutions (SMSMyBus, etc.), hands-on (camera/video, code, mobile tech, etc.), discussions (how to make technology useful, managing stakeholders, funding open source, coping), and presentations are all workshop/session options that you can submit.
W/ this and things like this (the ruby one later in the month) it
would seem like a good way to get the YAPC buzz out there - maybe how
to use WebGUI to plan an nat'l conf or something like that.
Just a thought ..

Nonprofit Day: Call for Presenters
To: madison-web-design-and-dev-announce@meetup.com
Dear Members:
August and September meetups are TBD. Meanwhile...
Madison Nonprofit day is seeking presenters for additional workshops
Madison Nonprofit Day is upon us (Thursday, 11 August 2011). This year
we've joined with Sector67 and plan to host a technology track for
Madison Nonprofit Day called, "Technology for Nonprofits &
Communities." Technology for Nonprofits & Communities is designed to
offer sessions that appeal to nonprofits, social entrepreneurs,
accidental techies, students, and the community. Sector67 is Madison's
collaborative learning environment which encourages interaction with
technology— software, hardware, electronics, art, sewing, pottery,
glass, metalwork, iPhone/Android applications, legos, games, etc. We
have some great workshops in place, but have room for few more, 3-5,
depending on size and length. Sessions can be .5hr, 1hr, 1.5hrs or 2
hours. They can be interactive, presentations, hands-on, lightning or
ignite sessions*, etcetera. We have three weeks to fill out
'Technology for Nonprofits & Communities.' Introductions to products
(MailChimp, CivicCRM, Twilio, etc. not sales pitches), introductions
to solutions (SMSMyBus, etc.), hands-on (camera/video, code, mobile
tech, etc.), discussions (how to make technology useful, managing
stakeholders, funding open source, coping), and presentations are all
workshop/session options that you can submit. These are informal
proposals, just send an email with a title and a brief description of
your proposed workshop. Submissions are due by Saturday, 31 July
2011, so we can add them to upcoming publicity. Send proposals to
madison.nonprofit.day@gmail.com. Madison Ruby Conference From August
18th to 20th, Madison, Wisconsin will host the Madison Ruby
Conference. Madison Ruby is a two-track conference committed to
bringing together two great communities: it will showcase the assets
of the Ruby community to locals, and provide visitors with a chance to
experience one of the best, brainiest, and least expensive places in
the US to live and work. Dozens of speakers will present on a range of
topics. http://madisonruby.org/ Cheers, Ben Seigel
