Drupal

Just heard about an exciting new software company, Acquia, which will provide products and services to enhance the Drupal platform.

NPC's platform is built mostly in Drupal, which makes it easier for non-engineers to edit and manage content on our site.

On a lighter note, Drupal also has its own music video which is pretty amusing (but likely to get stuck in your head).

A Conversation on Technology and Philanthropy

Technology is quickly changing traditional philanthropy and allowing a broader audience to become engaged in social activism. This week Union Square Ventures held "Hacking Philanthropy," an interesting dialogue on the topic:

"Our idea was to bring together entrepreneurs who have exploited the capabilities of the web to disrupt markets with people working for positive social change in the non-profit sector to see if the same techniques could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of philanthropy and social action."

At NPC, we're always excited to see people coming together to create innovative approaches and solutions. To read more, check out their post.
