PUB Crawl for September 25, 2017

It’s officially autumn in Washington DC, but the heat certainly makes it feel like the middle of July. That, coupled with the growing lines at my nearby coffee shop for anything pumpkin related, has me thoroughly confused as to the season.

Meanwhile, a group of us braved the heat in DC and enjoyed the second edition of the NPSP Day Washington DC, our first NPSP Day redux. Successful community engagement (and burritos) in the shadow of the US capitol certainly provided a shining moment in DC.

To top off the changing of the seasons, the non-profit community just proudly added a new handful of gurus to the Salesforce MVP mix! So, without further ado, let's keep this knowledge sharing flowing. Grab an iced (pumpkin spice?) latte, and enjoy this week’s PUB Crawl.

PUB Crawl for September 18, 2017

After a few weeks on the road, it was great to wrap it all up with a day networking with the NPSP open source community in Boston last Friday. Working under the gazing eyes of President Roosevelt and other gorgeous artwork, Harvard put on a great show!

With another round of empowered community contributors joining the NPSP Day movement, I'm excited to bring the energy back to Washington DC tomorrow for our first repeat city. After all the long-distance travel for me recently, it's fitting that the commute will be just two blocks tomorrow!

If you can't join us in DC tomorrow, let me nourish your brain with a tall glass of Salesforce community knowledge. Order's up!

PUB Crawl for September 11, 2017

After cleaning up all of the confetti post-PUB Crawl 100, I decided I needed to go for a marathon run. That was a ridiculous idea. The photo below is from the run. Really. Maybe just celebrating with a bottle of champagne could have been a better idea.

Trudging through a ridiculous marathon

As I'm trying to act like my new limp is just a cool new stride, it seems that the Salesforce community went into overdrive for this week's content. At the same time, I'm gearing up for NPSP Day Boston this Friday, and NPSP Day Washington DC next week, so I'm going to hobble out of your way and deliver one of the biggest PUB Crawl editions ever.

So, sit back, relax, and check out all the goodness from the community!

PUB Crawl for September 4, 2017

Cue the fireworks, it’s the 100th edition of the PUB Crawl! That's right, for 100 consecutive weeks, Salesforce knowledge has been pouring into the inboxes of nonprofiteers around the globe. Sometimes it arrives as a nightcap read, other times it arrives as you're sipping your first cup of coffee. I'm just keeping you on your toes. Regardless of when it's delivered, the goal is the same: increasing your ability to use Salesforce effectively.

Knowledge knows no boundaries

My simple reason for starting the PUB Crawl was to ensure we heard directly from those on the frontline delivering knowledge. I wanted to create a reliable aggregator of insight where I could highlight and celebrate incredible individuals and their contributions to the community.

As we cross this milestone together, I hope you enjoy this week's content and wish for it to inspire you to share your gift of knowledge with others. At Dreamforce, a few of us in the ecosystem will be sharing an initiative that will continue to drive innovation and knowledge sharing within our community through a new distributed model of collaboration. I can't wait to see what we can all build together as a grassroots community in service to each other.

In the meantime, a sincere "gracias" to all of you who have been subscribers of the PUB Crawl, be it since yesterday or 2015. I'll keep rolling the PUB Crawl off the assembly line every Monday so long as you keep creating fantastic content in the Hub. Deal?

Alright, grab a beverage of your choosing and enjoy this week's edition of the PUB Crawl!
