WORKSHOPS (10 am to 12 pm)

Alan Dixon - Nonprofit constituent engagement with CiviCRM.

CiviCRM is open source software that allows you to engage and grow your constituency using your Drupal or Joomla-powered website. Mozilla uses it, Wikipedia uses it, and so do lots of other small, medium and large nonprofits. If you're still using your desktop or notebook to manage your membership, donors, etc., then come learn how you can use CiviCRM to save time, focus your outreach, build new audiences, and coordinate your endless lists.  http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm

Chelsea Novak - Social media and your .org

Still on the fence about the value of social media to your org? Need help putting together a strategy that is managable, measurable and effective? This clinic will help get you started with a preliminary social media plan for your organization and get you connected to the conversation.

Mark Surman - Creative Commons and open content licensing

Ever wondered about sharing your organizations ideas and content so others can more easily promote, reuse and spread it? Creative Commons open content licenses can help. This clinic offers advice for non-profits and social entrepreneurs with questions or seeking advice about Creative Commons and other open licensing approaches.

MOVIE SCREENING - RIP: A Remix Manifesto (12:30 pm)

Interested in how the copyright, innovation and creativity are intersecting in the internet era? Join us for the most thought provoking film ever made on the topic:

Immerse yourself in the energetic, innovative and potentially illegal world of mash-up media with RiP: A remix manifesto. Let web activist Brett Gaylor and musician Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, serve as your digital tour guides on a probing investigation into how culture builds upon culture in the information age.

Will be followed by a (likely raucous) discussion led by Mozilla executive director Mark Surman.
