It discusses 1) what the NPDev summit involves in bringing nonprofit technology challenges together with developers, 2) some open source and nonprofit projects that could benefit from Python solutions, 3) the concept of humanitarian hackathons and examples like Geeks Without Bounds and Rhok, and 4) invites attendees to the Houston Netsquared Holiday Social on December 11th at Stag's Head Pub to connect nonprofits, entrepreneurs and technologists.

I’m going to tell you what the NPDev summit is - bringing nonprofit technology challenges
together with developers to come up with solutions and learn.
Then share some of the interesting open source and NPO projects I learned about at the
conference where I think there could be Python solutions, either existing or to be developed,
that would be able to solve some of these issues in the nonprofit tech space - in case anyone
here is interested in working on a humanitarian project.
Then, I’ll introduce you to the humanitarian hackathon concept, share some examples (Geeks
without Bounds and Rhok) and request that interested people contact me and let’s see if we
can bring more events like that to Houston.
I’ll conclude by inviting y’all to the Houston Netsquared Holiday Social that’ll be right here at
Stag’s Head Pub in this room on Dec 11th.
