Back in March, Angus Parker over at WiserEarth featured Kabissa in a blog post on an important emerging social networking tactic that I think will interest and be helpful to Kabissa members - I have included it in full below.

The Kabissa online community platform was built using Drupal and CiviCRM, two very powerful freely available open source web applications. It would be great to get more folks in Seattle who are working in Africa to pick up on the benefits of CiviCRM for nonprofit/charitable work and consider using it. A terrific opportunity to find out more is coming up - a new CiviCRM Users Group will meet for the first time on May 27th. Details at http://bit.ly/b1vUY1

When we launched the NetSquared conference in 2005, our premise was simple. We set out to produce an event that brought together people working in the public and private sector who were interested in the potential of web-based tools and strategies to transform the way entrepreneurial nonprofits and social innovators operate. The conference, held at Cisco’s headquarters in the heart of Silicon Valley, brought together around 300 people from foundations, corporate developer networks, and entrepreneurial social innovators working at the intersection of technology and social–change

On Tuesday, Tobias and I attended an online seminar on Google Apps for non-profit organisations run by the NTEN (Non-Profit Technology Network) Google Apps described as "a free web based office suite" consists of GMail, Google Talk, Google Docs (Wordprocessor and spreadsheet), Google Calender, Google Web Pages. Since all of the above applications are also available as free open source (Thunderbird, Open Office etc) why should non-profits or anyone for that matter choose to use Google Apps, which requires a relatively decent internet connection as well as one that is fairly cheap if you are going to get the best out of the functions?

[below is roughly what I hope to talk about this afternoon for the benefit of you netizens lurking out there and observing the web2fordev conference vicariously from the comfort of your computer monitors!]

Kabissa has found itself in the center of attention in the much hyped Web 2.0 movement and the opportunities it presents for African civil society. To name some highlights:
