How to Build a Volunteer Blog with Form & Function Julie Pippert
How does a bare-bones nonprofit manage to create a strong and consistent online and social media presence without spending big $$ and hiring a team? Same way it manages other projects: volunteers!
But every NPO knows that even the best volunteers need support and coaching, and every volunteer project needs management. That can make it seem daunting or, worse, as a resource drain.
This presentation will specifically walk-through how organizations can create and implement a plan for a volunteer-based online presence that builds connections to community, heightens cause awareness, raises funds and brings valuable rewards.
Using a case study compare/contrast of two national nonprofits’ plans for blogs and social media, learn:
Mobilizing and selecting volunteers
Planning and tasking
Organizing with schedules and deadlines Planning content
Pros and cons of models: regular contributors, guest contributors
I speak in takeaways. Audience members will walk away with a sense of can do!

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
4. David Armano wrote this brilliant article
about why harvesting insights is so critical for
business success.
Go read it now, I’ll
wait …
Go read it, I’ll wait.
That’s David
18. “I took an American Red Cross class I thought was
less than satisfactory. […] Someone found my blog
post and told the local chapter director. He called
me to talk about it honestly. […] They care about
me and they’re willing to go the extra mile. […]
This gives the American Red Cross HUGE points. I
am now significantly more likely to take another
class than I was before.” - Blogger
19. Influencer

Relationship

Staff determines comments or tweets that need
action
21. “Look for trends over time, what
people find compelling enough
about their intersection with the
Red Cross to spend time writing
about publicly.”
22. • Relationship building lays groundwork for future
campaigns to raise time, money, and blood
• Identifies influencers
• Documentation creates internal value
• Listening skills and tools upgraded
• What works used for future campaigns
Continuous Listening Offers Value
27. You’re saying that
donors are
primates?
Anthropologist is a better metaphor
28. A Process I’ve Used With All My Fundraising
Campaigns
• Document on the fly
• Test and tweak
• Pick the right hard data points
• Harvest your insights
• Pause for reflection time before
next reiteration: How to improve
results?
41. “We don’t really care about views as much as we care
about comments. If we get 1,000 video views that is
good. The comments are a focus group with our
influencers. If they like it, they’ll spread it and that
helps get to our objectives.”
42. Remember
Pick the right ones!
Numbers alone are
meaningless
Combine with other
measures and
qualitative data
Harvest Insights
48. Phew!
They
adapted …
Did they stop doing photo contests as a result?
49. “Since this was our first run at a photo
petition, it was difficult to get across
exactly what we wanted people to do
without writing a book. So every person
that wrote in and needed help was
answered personally. This gave us a
good idea of how to more clearly
explain ourselves next time. “
Carrie Lewis, HSUS

While some of the measurement concepts for social media remain the same as traditional Web analytics, there are some new ideas to embrace. Unlike the traditional website where users browse and harvest information, the tools of social media are unique by allowing people to connect with one another. Also, Web marketing has expanded beyond just the traditional organizational website and search results pages — it has spread to everywhere people are talking about your industry or market. \"The page view has served us well. It has established a universal way to measure web sites. However, the metric is about to become a moot point. The page view does not offer a suitable way to measure the next generation of web sites. These sites will be built with Ajax, Flash and other interactive technologies that allow the user to conduct affairs all within a single web page - like Gmail or the Google Reader. This eliminates the need to click from one page to another. The widgetization of the web will only accelerate this.\"
