Quick question: what are folks using to organize and track volunteer efforts and sponsorship asks? We’re using Google Docs right now (though we did look at creating a wiki on our site).
beanfair, and 4 others are discussing.

We used Google Group for organizer/volunteer communication, and Google docs for keeping track expenses, post-event polls. We also used Google Group pages & file upload for miscellaneous memos.

For SF, I used Google docs – had various spreadsheets and word docs, which worked very well. I think a wiki would be ok, but perhaps hard to maintain?

We used Google docs, spreadsheets for expenses, schedule, speakers applications (we invited people who would like to talk on our website), word documents for making a sponsorship project. We made a very professional (at least I thought it was
) document we send to the potencial sponsors. We had web conferences using our Culture Ministry’s servers (I guess it was Acrobat Connect Pro). Now we’re starting to use P2 too, to communicate as we’re doing here. I think it helps a lot.

Started using a combination of Google docs and a Meetup group. Will let you know how it works out.

Thanks to everyone who’s replied. I was really trying to get a discussion going and to see if there was a better way to do so. Extremely grateful and I’ll throw out one more suggestion – if you’re using a WordPress MU install, you could set up one of the blogs to function like this one as a communications tool between the organizers.
Thanks again!

This time, we tried using P2 for sub-committee discussion but got feedback from many people it was kind of hard to keep up across many P2s (there were 6).
We ended up going back to Google Groups.
Would have worked out if we kept one P2 for a few core organizers, I think.
