Event Agenda
From Devsummit
The agenda for the Nonprofit Software Development Summit will be shaped by input from participants in the time leading up to and during the event, and many sessions will be self-organized in real time.
The agenda described below is laid on the calendar at Event Schedule.
The current session agenda falls into three major tracks:
- Practices, Processes and Community will address concepts, themes and essential issues in the nonprofit software development realm.
- Software Engineering Topics and Trends will dive deep on a host of technical and strategic issues relevant to nonprofit software developers.
- Going Vertical: Application Focus Areas will explore specific “vertical” categories of nonprofit software.
These tracks are guaranteed to morph and evolve as participants weigh in and build out the agenda.
As with all Aspiration events, fast-paced “SpeedGeeking” will allow participants to share and compare projects, ideas, and cool tools. Interactive group activities will poll attendees on a range of development-related topics to tease out alliances and surface points of debate. Wikis and other collaborative tools will document and transmit the proceedings in real time, and festive evening activities will demonstrate that the most important sessions require neither laptops or note taking to provide full value.
In addition Peer-to-Peer Trainings and Skillshares will be offered on a range of technologies and platforms, including Ruby on Rails, PHP and associated platforms (Drupal/CivicSpace/CiviCRM, Joomla, AMP), Plone/Python, and the Salesforce.com APIs. Rumors of PL/1 and ALGOL sessions have not been confirmed at this time, and some assembly will be required.
Please feel free to edit these wiki pages to add your ideas to the mix!
