Cloud TnT

Cloud TnT goes on an adventure with #AwesomeAdmin and new MVP Christian Carter. We talk about dating advice, learning enough to be dangerous, being community allies, and the fun and joy of Slack channels in the NPO world. Also, Cloud TnT begins what will assuredly be a long, controversial, and wide-ranging discussion of Open Sourcery in the world of nonprofit Salesforce users.

This week, on a Very Special Cloud TnT, we talk about family values... (just kidding!), but we do cover families of choice, and the value of families. Another international journeying community member talks about his experiences and learning, and the role that being present and building trust and vulnerability can play. Cloud TnT is fascinated by Matt Damon, economic agency, and Greek words. Shout-outs to Girlforce and its amazing trip to Ethiopia happening this week, selling Salesforce as an Account Executive, and when trainwrecks happen.

Listening to others, knowing people and culture, and applying humility and willingness to fail to both, #AwesomeAdmin Trish Perkins shares her wisdom on international travel and its relevance to Salesforce. People are more important than a “to-do” list anywhere we go. Cloud TnT is stunned into silence by warmed-up buckets, and instead talks about not crying, current events, and new Trailhead awesomeness.

Cloud TnT kicks off its #AwesomeAdmin series with Amanda Byrne, who talks about her own journey becoming an administrator, things of which to be mindful in an administrator role, and sharing our stories. Insomnia, community, and shout outs to #TahoeDreamin

Tim, Tracy, and Joni ring in the new year with updates on important dates and goings on. An in-depth talk about Girlforce and how men can be allies, goings-on for the Salesforce platform and nonprofit ecosystem, and changes happening at Salesforce.org and what Salesforce.org means and represents in 2016. Tracy chokes up and gets teary, Tim talks economics, and Joni steals the show.

Cloud TnT talks with Chris Duarte, Managing Editor of Salesforce Trailhead. This is a great path to follow, for all listeners to learn about the behind-the-scenes at one of the breakout tools of 2015. Our final 2015 podcast, Cloud TnT is grateful, dinosaurs, twits, shock-collars and all.

NTEN Director Amy Sample Ward talks on the value of connection and community, its application to nonprofits implementing technology of all kinds, and why having a community invested in itself is the best support for technologists.

Cloud TnT and Mike Gerholdt chat about how community is built, and the means by how people become empowered. Building community is taking information that is being put out there, and helping others make the world a better place with it. You can curate content, or connect people, and at the end of the day there’s a ton of ways to contribute. We also talked about System Administrators and bus drivers.

Cloud TnT talks about taxes, events, and secret clubs, and is appropriately awed by Michelle Chaplin Regal’s community participation for Salesforce, nonprofit technologists, and women in technology. DevAdmins are a new breed of awesome, but can we please get an Atari Emulator App inside Salesforce?

Too many shout outs to list, Joni, Tim, and Tracy talk memories, insights, and takeaways from Dreamforce ‘15.
