08.17.07Who’s more open, Blackbaud or Kintera?Ok, Kintera announces it's open... they even have a call about it at NTEN and even Michelle Murrain gets a little excited and Mr. Integration Proclamation himself calls it a good thing. But it's been five weeks since the announcement and there's still no documentation for the API. Please, Kintera, it's bad enough that you're still losing money but at the very least, release the docs! With or without the developer program, we have no way of understanding whether not we should even apply for the program. It would be a great media opportunity for Kintera to release ...

07.14.07Little Dishes 2Those of you who live in Brooklyn should really try out that restaurant above. It's a real treat and in the summer you can eat outside in the garden behind the restaurant. It used to be called Little Dishes until some restaurant in Manhattan enforced it's trademark (grrr! hiss! boo!). I've done it before, and I'm doing it again, and I'm naming this post in Little D's honor. A few little dishes for the weekend: As of yesterday, Google is offering nonprofits Google Apps Education Edition for free. This turns the world upside down for nonprofit system administrators. I've changed the Leaderboard ...

07.10.07Developers, start your engines! Kintera is OPENUpdate: Thalia Driessen tells me that Kintera has updated their logo! Kintera just announced that their platform is now open and ready to integrate with third-party applications. The press release doesn't have enough details to really talk to developers out there but I was lucky enough to talk to Kintera this morning with Kintera's CTO, Scott Crowder and Kintera's press contact, Erin Leventhal.

06.18.07The Race Is On…Demand!!! Blackbaud signals move to open platformAh, what would the world be like without SEC Form 8-K? Without it, I'd never know that Blackbaud was finally signaling its move to open platform. They've put an ex-Oracle on Demand employee on their board to give them some of that on-demand goodness we've been looking for. Continue Reading...

05.16.07Salesforce.com Nonprofit Roadmap SummitSteve Wright of Salesforce.com Foundation told me about a new wiki devoted to something called the Nonprofit Roadmap Summit. OK, I just can't help interjecting here that this is something that all the other CRM providers can learn from. Product roadmaps are invaluable tools for nonprofit IT directors in both their software procurement and deployment strategies over any given future period of time. And none of the major vendors in our sector do this with the exception of Wild Apricot. It's an example of the lack of service we see from the Convios and Kinteras of the world . And ...

05.16.07Interview with Scott Crowder, Kintera CTOScott Crowder is the incoming Kintera CTO. His hiring was announced on May 3rd, just months after the Grubers left Kintera so in very many respects, he's the new guy. His job is both to inspire confidence within the staff that it can turn itself around after umpteen quarters of losses and ultimately, to REALLY turn the ship around. Continue Reading...

05.15.07Interview with Kintera CTO today at 4 PM ESTI'm interviewing Scott Crowder, the new Kintera CTO today. He has a pretty extensive for-profit background so I'm very curious about how and why he's now at Kintera working in our sector. Feel free to drop off your questions about Kintera in the Meebo Rooms widget on the left. Unfortunately, this interview won't go up as a podcast but at least we'll get a sense of what's going on in the post-Gruber era. Oops I originally posted for a 10 AM EST interview but it's really at 4 PM EST. You've all got about 6 hours to add questions to my ...

05.09.07Kintera going open platform?I never thought I'd say that but that's what I'm hearing from my Kintera sources. Both the shrinking of Kintera's workforce and the need to rethink Kintera's place in the nonprofit space is spurring this development. That's all I'm hearing so far... and the details have yet to be worked out. Those of you who have me as a Twitter friend (abenamer) are aware that I'm doing a phone interview with the incoming CTO of Kintera next week. This is certainly one of the topics I'd like to address during that call. Everyone knows I'm a huge open API fan so ...

03.29.07With Kintera, no news is good news…but there’s always news…So the March 29th teleconference came and went and Reuters reports: Kintera Inc.... said it is cutting its workforce by 16 percent, and added that its last three quarterly results should not be "relied upon" due to an error in its revenue recognition policies for certain software, maintenance and hosting contracts. Kintera is going down to 300 employees and focusing on CRM. Makes sense but I hear that they're deeply discounting their prices if you can manage to be a grantee of certain foundations. I just don't see an easy way out for Kintera right now. Any comments? Looks like the earlier tout ...

03.16.07And then there was none… last Kintera co-founder steps downThere isn't even a press release, but there's always Form 8-K: As of March 15, 2007, Dennis Berman ceased to be Executive Vice President, Corporate Development of the Kintera, Inc. and is no longer an employee of Kintera, Inc. It was already presaged in the previous EDGAR Filing when: On February 8, 2007, Dennis Berman notified the Board that he does not intend to stand for re-election at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2007. So that's it, the founders of Kintera are gone. Any comments?
