Few things warm my heart more than drinking Dunkin Donuts coffee on a beautiful Boston morning and hearing the sound of stickies being slapped on whiteboards with great ideas for open source projects.
A rather odd pairing? I call it "fully caffeinated community collaboration" at its best. With the glow of the NPSP Sprint lighting the way to Dreamforce, grab a cup of your favorite energy drink, get ready for some community knowledge sharing, and get ready for the PUB Crawl!
Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!

- Backup and Restore - What do you do?
Nitzan Marinov (The Children's Society)Yes, it's true: the cloud actually runs on servers and networks and can lose data. How do you protect that data in a fast and reliable way for easy and quick restorations?
- Together, We Rise: The Boston NPSP Sprint
Tracy Kronzak (TK Endeavours)I can't even try to better summarize why you need to read this better than Tracy herself: "Unlike all other customers of Salesforce, nonprofits have Open Source agency in where they want the NPSP to go next. Truly being given the freedom to create a community that is unrivaled by any other competing platform."
- Which object should a donation opportunity originate from?
Deja Newland (San Antonio Sports Foundation)Salesforce.com tends to be the kind of tool that you can do the same thing in multiple ways. Does that extend to entering donations for families and individuals?
- Community Cascade Results Are In
Amy Pannu (Salesforce.org)You voted, you got it! Take a look at these great community unconference sessions happening at Dreamforce this year.

Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce
- NPSP Settings - add audit trail/history to it please
Bryn Scott (Corporation for Enterprise Development)Let's say you have a year's worth of great data in your NPSP org, and then someone on your team decides to make a change to an NPSP setting. Wouldn't it be nice to know what it was before, making it easy to track what changed and when?
That's all for this week! Did I miss something? Have any tips or suggestions? Send all tip jar suggestions to me at cozimek@picnet.net.
Keep soaking up the goodness!
Your barkeeper,
Ryan
