Panel at SXSW 08: Pimp My Nonprofit Made the List

Tunnel by Eschipul on Flickr

I'm stunned .... The SXSW 2008 Panel initial results are in and the Pimp My Non Profit Panel made the list!  The initial SXSW panel description is posted on the SXSW site.  Ed Schipul, the official cat herder for the panel, has all the details.

I'm looking forward to this only to have the change to think together with my highly esteemed panelists about the topic.    They include:

Rachel Weidinger, Strategy for Social Entrepreneurs and on Netsquared here.
Michaela Hackner, Girl Next Door Productions and World Learning.
Erin Denny, Senior Product Manager, YouthNoise Initiatives

I have met Rachel, Ed, and Erin through Netsquared face-to-face.   I don't know Michaela face-to-face, but we know each other through our mutual connections in blogging, nonprofits, social media and Cambodia.  I know I'll be blogging about this topic to flesh out my thoughts for next March, but   Michaela had an idea that we develop our panel thoughts through a cross-blog conversation about the topic.   

So fellow panelist, before we dive into content, I wonder how we can have this conversation, manage it, invite others in, etc?  For one thing, I created a new category on this blog ...

I'm not quite sure how this is going to work either. But I think we each need to determine our unique spin on the panel and then begin to see how these ideas interlock and cross-cut. I'm ready to roll with my blog too. Maybe a synchronous chat is in order sometime soon, so we can nail these ideas down and start running!
