This is a collection of software tools represented by participants and/or otherwise used at the 2009 Nonprofit Software Development Summit in Oakland, CA.
You can review the Agenda and session notes, as well as event pictures, Tweets from the event and the legendary DevSummit Group Photo.
The 2009 DevSummit was the third annual convening of people and organizations developing software tools, web applications and other technology to support social justice causes. Bringing together a diverse range of users, developers, technologists, managers, eRiders, integrators and other practitioners who self-identify under the umbrella of “developing nonprofit software”, the event provided an opportunity both to gather as a community and to take stock of the field, while building connections and capacity.
The event was generously sponsored by Mozilla, Google, and CiviCRM.
