Upwards of 300 people from nonprofits and nonprofit supporting businesses are at Dreamforce this year – a far cry from the few of us here only a couple years ago.  Lots of new features being announced – Visualforce.com and rebranding of the platform: Force.com.

As usual, great networking and reconnecting, which is making it awfully quiet in the Meebo back channel.  

Michael Dannenfeldt, the Salesforce Foundation Fellow (on loan from Salesforce corp) has announced a new Resource Page for nonprofits on the Foundation’s website. And in traditional Salesforce fashion, they are very coy with information on nonprofit pricing for new functions (visualforce and apex) as well as additional support services.

Good questions coming from attendees in nonprofit session about pricing, as well as company/foundation support of the nonprofit template and nonprofit-specific platform issues. The foundation and the vertical – as they were at the summit in early June – still uncertain (tight lipped more likely) about their strategy/roadmap for ongoing support to the community.
