Back in August, Britt wrote about the wiki we built to collect notes from the Craigslist Foundation Nonprofit Boot Camp. Now that Cragslist & Social Innovations have begun posting podcasts of the sessions, we've also started to post audio indices of the recordings (here's an example). We encourage you to make some indices of your own, and to share them on the wiki. An index is a good way to take notes - it helps give structure to your memory, and makes it easy to go back to a specific section of a recording when needed. Posting your notes on the wiki will be a gift to our collective memory. If you've never done this before, here's a video to walk you through the entire process.

Give Kay Sprinkel Grace & Van Jones a Listen
I highly recommend that folks take a listen to the two keynotes by Van Jones the Executive Director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and by Kay Sprinkel Grace of Transforming Philanthropy. Both are inspiring. (Full disclosure: my husband recorded them).
