Perhaps the second half-hour
Perhaps the second half-hour of this session could be a non-profit BoF? I know that several people in the NYC community have attended non-profit BoFs at Drupal Cons over the years, and that many attendees at DrupalCampNYC are involved with non-profits. Anyone else interested in this? Is half an hour enough? The conversation could always continue in another space if it runs over.

Hi Melissa,
Did you have a conclusion or summary document from your presentation. We are a DC based Drupal for non-profit web developer and it would be good to learn more your work.
Thanks!
