What I’m up to
posted in Uncategorized |It’s the end of the year, and it seems a good idea to post about what’s on my agenda for the next year, and what kinds of things I’ll be working on, thinking about, and writing about in 2007.
First off, for those of you that don’t know, I am the new coordinator of NOSI - the Nonprofit Open Source Initiative. I’ll be working half-time for NOSI, to start the ball rolling on some interesting projects on its own, and in collaboration with other organizations in the sector, including NTEN and Aspiration, among others, and to raise money to help make NOSI a sustainable organization going forward.
I’m also still doing technology implementation work with Database Designs, and that work will be mostly maintaining and improving code that I generated before I went on “sabbatical”, and increasingly doing more work at a meta level - project management, training and the like. I’ll likely have more info on that stuff soonish.
I also am very interested in doing a lot more writing - the API whitepaper for NTEN should be out soon, and there are other things I’ve got up my sleeve in terms of more concrete writing - some for NOSI, some just for the greater good. I will be focusing on open source tools for the most part.
I think it will be an interesting, and exciting year.
I will be blogging a bit more this week, but then I’ll be offline for the Christmas week, doing other kinds of writing.
