Salsa Scoop
DIA User Conference: June 26-27
Save the date and watch for updates: June 26-27 in Washington D.C., at the Hotel Palomar we'll be hosting our first user conference. A lot's been happening in the year since we rolled out Salsa, both in the toolset and in the space, so there'll be plenty to talk about. We'll do some tools features, both old standbys and the new toys that seem to roll out every day; we'll do some strategy training and best practices; we'll do a lot of peer learning because there are much smarter people than us doing all kinds of innovative things; we'll have no shortage of socializing, networking, and general merrymaking with the fantastic circle of progressive activists using Salsa; and we'll learn from each other where we should be headed next. The agenda is in a developmental stage, so if you've got something you're dying to see happen, drop it in the comments here or drop one of us a line. Read more...

Notes from the Margin (Calls) of a Cataclysm
On April 5, 2004, e-CRM toolmaker Kintera peaked at $17.73 a share. On that date, Bear Stearns' high was $87.53 -- a little less than five times Kintera's value per share. At any point in the intervening four years, Kintera shareholders would have been overjoyed to trade at one-fifth Bear Stearns. Today, they got there. Current valuations: Kintera $0.66 Bear Stearns: $3.82 ??? Profit! Read more...

In this week's photo, Mia Farrow and an 8 year old Darfurian refugee walk into a sandstorm near the Sudan-Chad border at the commencement of the Dream for Darfur torch relay.
