Winecamp France.  Oui Oui!  September 22-24, 2006 regular barcampers + nonprofit web activists will meet up in Burgundy to discuss and create ways that nonprofits can use the social web for social change.

In Google Answers, the question is asked:
What is the general percentage of nonprofit organizations with 10 or more employees that invest in new enterprise or CRM software on a yearly basis?  The answerer provided lots of statistics, but few were more recent than 2003.  Anyone have more recent stats to share?

Confessions of a Nonprofit IT Director blog talks about "Nonprofit 2.0" in his organization:

We serve homeless clients - perhaps the toughest sector of non-profit clientele to serve with technology. With little money and no permanent shelter, technology for our clients is usually limited to a pay-as-you-go cell phone or a quarter in a pay phone.

However, if you serve those clients with knowledge workers, you may end up with a more cost-effective outcome for that client. If the case worker for that client has better IT that allows them to save that client’s identification documents, keep their progress notes in good order, keep track of their entitlements, find them shelter, keep track of upcoming shelter availability, print out a referral letter, scan a check and send it to a landlord to prevent eviction and so much more then wouldn’t that be a better way to serve the client with technology? If so, that’s what Nonprofit 2.0 means to me. In fact, we do many of those things at our organization. Slowly building on our Internet connectivity, over the years, we’ve accumulated a combination of ASP-hosted case management applications, IVR-based information delivery, and document scanning technology to better serve our clients.
