A friend of mine asked me to pass along these two events coming up at the intersection of technology and nonprofit:
*May 4, Tuesday: Bellevue Seattle Net Tuesday Meetup: The Nonprofit Technology Giving Event<http://www.facebook.com/event.php?invites&eid=110649718954511> *Join Seattle Net Tuesday (SNT) and Bellevue Tweetup for a mixer matching altruistic techies in Greater Seattle with the nonprofits who need their urgently needed skills. If you?re a nonprofit who could use an extreme makeover in social media, web site design, software training, graphic design, mobile marketing, or you name it in tech, this exclusive mixer is for you! Likewise if you?re a techie who can partner with nonprofits to find free and low-cost technical solutions to social issues affecting us all. * May 6, Thursday: Tech Mafia Happy Hour, organized by the Win/Win Network<http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=103928206310631> *Join us to to enjoy *free *beer, and talk about tech lessons learned during the wildly successful 2009 campaign to approve Referendum 71, the domestic partnership equality measure. Thanks to that campaign ? and the tech strategies it employed ? Washington voters are now in the history books as the first in American history to vote affirmatively to recognize gay and lesbian relationships. At Tech Mafia, we share best practices, lament worst practices, imagine new ways of exploiting technology to achieve our goals, and enjoy the company of other like-minded folks.
