PUB Crawl for October 29, 2018

In a week that was filled with open source community sprinting in our Salesforce world out in Portland, Oregon, it sure seems like the community was in overdrive this week with tons of great new questions and ideas. To the sprinters with sore muscles this week, thanks for putting in the hard work for the community!

Appreciating art

While I try to comprehend the art all around me during my vacation this week (art historian friends needed), allow me to send you a weekly round of knowledge from the PUB Crawl, rapidamente!

PUB Crawl for October 22, 2018

“Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” An appropriate quote from the president in the background behind these awesome Salesforce non-profit rockstars at last week's NPSP Day Boston. Not only was it a fantastic day of networking and learning, but it marked the 30th NPSP Day in what's been an incredible movement building of our community.

To celebrate three weeks of NPSP Days in a row, thirty of them around the world, and ten years of the NPSP, I think I'm going to take my sailor's cap and Soapbox Engage penguin and head to a little vacation. When I come back, maybe I'll have a pretty epic announcement about an exciting capstone to this incredible year of knowledge sharing. Just maybe.

In the meantime, enjoy another round of knowledge, care of the community.

PUB Crawl for October 15, 2018

Another week, another NPSP Day in the history books. Last week, the NPSP Day community convergence tour stopped in the City of Brotherly Love, where I promptly tried running up the art museum steps only to find I'm totally not prepared for a long run in a few weeks. Luckily, fueled by coffee and Philly soft pretzels, the community pushed us forward through an awesome day.

This week, I'll be extending the tour northwards to Boston for the second annual NPSP Day right in the middle of a little-known university in Cambridge. If you find yourself in Boston as you read this, come join us on Thursday! And if not, well, enjoy this round of Salesforce knowledge and know that somewhere in Boston, I'm likely already on my third cup of Dunkin.

PUB Crawl for October 8, 2018

Last week was the third, and largest, NPSP Day Washington DC, and let me tell you, it was really nice having an event in my own city for a change. A few days without travel meant I was able to catch-up even more on the knowledge shared during Dreamforce.

And that's a good thing, because I'm not sure who put the token in the question asking machine, but geez, the community sure brought a ton inquisitiveness to the table this week.

So without further ado, let's launch right into the largest PUB Crawl in history!

PUB Crawl for October 1, 2018

Today marks the third anniversary of this newsletter, and I'm so happy you've read this far and haven't already sent it to your spam filter. But seriously, it's been fun reading all the great knowledge shared by the Salesforce non-profit community, and trying to make it just a little more understandable.

Today is also a few days after Dreamforce, which was my 9th year of the craziness that is the world's largest non-profit conference...wrapped up in what I think was a US national park tourist convention. So much information shared, I could spend the next 10 PUB Crawls just talking about it. But...

I've got our largest NPSP Day DC ever happening in 10 hours!

Knowledge knows no boundaries

Thanks for giving me a chance to share what I find in our community's hive mind, and for continuing to prove that the knowledge knows no boundaries. Our community's open contribution of ideas and questions reminds me that when we set our collective vision further towards the future, we're destined for big, status quo changing things.

While I do last minute preparations to make sure the captain's hat fit just right for tomorrow, let's dive into last week's knowledge shared from the Power of Us Hub, shall we?
