Community Happenings: August 28, 2018

Hi Community!

Can anyone else believe it’s almost September already?

Me looking at a calendar:

Boss from Office Space saying "uh, yeah"

Since time is of the essence, let’s hop into the latest community happenings!

Make an Appearance
  • First bbcon 2018 in Orlando, Florida is 41 days away! 41! If you’re looking for a way to go on us, check out our contest giving away a bbcon (US) and Blackbaud University Day pass.
  • Stay on track with the latest online fundraising trends and industry best practices while learning about Online Express donation forms in our upcoming webinar.
Stay Informed Get Involved
  • Let’s talk about how to make your organization’s emails more engaging. What creative tactics has your organization used? Share your ideas.
  • Prepare to beam with happiness (or just slightly smirk) but the Blackbaud Community has become the honorary adoptive parents of Moo Shoo. Who is Moo Shoo? Check out our announcement.
If you’ve read this far, let’s have a little fun. There's something big coming to the Blackbaud Community in the coming week or so. Comment below with your guess and I'll draw two prizes - one random and then one for the most creative guess. laugh

See you around the Community!

By now, you all know we are updating the Community with @ mentions! It's very exciting and hence my contest is closed (not as much fun when you know the answer). However there have been great ideas for the Community so keep sharing your most creative ideas. You never know what we may do with them. I'll followup next Tuesday to announce winners! :)
The newest thing will be a cartoon/post on the home page featuring trends, forecasts, results and other interesting tidbit about foundations around the world. Some will be statistical and some just humorous.
Crystal-HECK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MOO SHOO BADGEEEEEEEEEEE
A Moo Shoo Badge for 100K+ points is now in the works!
A virtual Community Block Party and parade. Moo Shoo cut out cookies for everyone. Best parade entry gets a day to swim with the manatees.
Is the Blackbaud Community website getting a rebrand or update? Here's to this becoming the Facebook of the worldwide Third Sector!
Someone did try to use it as a way to romance a community manager one time, Sandy. We shut that down quickly. I guess something about the Blackbaud Community screams "looooooooove." Haha.
A non-profit only online dating service :) 
These responses have me like:

Two tickets to be a participant on "Let's Make a Deal", where we could win a Brand NEW Electric car or be ZOINKED.
Are we installing an integrated habitat for Moo Shoo at the headquarters building?! Can't wait to visit him on my lunch break!
LOVE it Kylea!!!  A Moo Shoo badge  :)
A pumpkin spice Badge Quest!  (Hey, everyone else is releasing all their new pumpkin spice flavored and scented goodies, why not you?!)
KING KONG!
MOO SHOO LIVE STREAM. All Moo Shoo, all the time. 

Or...you know... something more work relevant. (Nah, it's a Moo Shoo cam isn't it)
Coming soon - an astonishing 3D interactive 24/7 learning lab for all Blackbaud users - it's a combination of interactive live social media style communication and training all brought to you on your conference room big screen television or in your office on your desktop monitor.  That's right, a 24/7 learning lab - just walk in, put on your 3D goggles, turn on the big screen, and you're instantly connected to the other users across the country led by a Blackbaud instructor.  It's as if you are all in the same room working through Blackbaud products on your interactive screen.  Just like George Jetson video chatting to his boss on his smartwatch - but better! 
A new badge for having 100k+ points for the two who are skyrocketing up the leaderboard? ITS A MOO SHOO BADGE ISN'T IT!! I can see the description now "You have transcended the terrestrial kingdom of Community and have now conquered the aqueous environment as well. You have become a Community mermaid, siren call of all who choose to sail these treacherous waters to learn more about their Blackbaud products."
The idea to have a Community mascot competition is giving me life!
We're adopting a little brother or sister for Moo Shoo!  After all, it's not as much fun being an only child:)
Either Moo Shoo is pregnant or you're announcing the full release of the new GIFTS Sky!!!!

Signed,
Hopeful
