This group is a place to share ideas, organize and generally put our heads together regarding how Drupal is, and can be, used for nonprofit, charitable and social justice purposes.
Join us on the third Thursday of every month, at 1:00 PM U.S. Eastern for our group meeting by phone. View our next discussion date.
All calls are free and everyone is welcome! While "#npdrupal" refers to "nonprofit Drupal" (similar to "#nptech") our focus is broader than just nonprofit/NGO-specific uses of Drupal and encompasses all "Drupal for good" work like advocacy, community organizing, fundraising, and campaigns.
Our meetings take place at 1:00 PM US-Eastern/10:00 AM US-Pacific/19:00 CEST. (Convert to your local time zone.)

Melbourne CiviCRM group
Hello folks!
I looked around and couldn't find anyone doing this already, but apologies if you were and I've stepped on your toes…

Not much to look at right now, but watch this space: http://www.meetup.com/MelbourneCiviCRM/

Come meet others from the Bay Area who are interested in, using or developing for CiviCRM. We'll have a case study presentation, and save time for an open question and answer session.
Art With Impact is a social justice nonprofit that uses film to engage people in social issues, then connects them with nonprofits doing the work on the ground. Our organization relies heavily on a technical infrastructure that allows permissioned users (mostly nonprofit orgs and universities around the U.S.) to create their own content and update their own information. Art With Impact Executive Director - Carry McQueen Morrow will speak about their recent (~6 mo ago) process of selecting and implementing CiviCRM, as well as their plans for the system moving forward.
