GiveCamp is a national program sponsored by Microsoft, O’Reilly, Telerik and many other companies involved in software development. GiveCamp events are weekend long hackathons where developers volunteer their time to create software solutions for nonprofits. We are currently in the planning stages for a GiveCamp event in downtown San Francisco. Anyone who is interested in participating should attend the planning meeting on the evening of Tuesday, February 15 at the Microsoft office on Market Street. Please see our Meetup group for details and to sign up for the meeting.

For our September MeetUp, we are thrilled to have longtime online community expert, Randall Farmer, as our guest speaker. We'll also be joined by Bill Johnston, Head of Global Community at Dell, who will be facilitating the event.

Randy will be speaking about managing reputation systems in online communities. His talk will lead into an informal discussion moderated by Bill. Come join us for an evening of online community strategy and in-person networking with fellow online community enthusiasts.
