Volunteerism Highest in 6 Years


Even in these economic times, Americans are reaching out to support one another at rates higher than for the previous six years.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy, summarizing a report by the Corporation for National and Community Service, says that more than 63 million Americans (and that's only counting adults), volunteered to help a charitable cause last year.  That is nearly 27 percent of the adult population.  Read the details.

This is clearly a tremendous resource, and to help manage, coordinate, and leverage the time and talents of  these volunteers, VisionLink will be releasing a new Volunteer Management module in its Community Operating System software this summer.  Designed in partnership with a number of customers, including design and funding support from the Coordinated Assistance Network, it's a powerful solution supporting both individual and groups of volunteers.

Let us know if we can help your community make a difference!

5 Billion Data Field Exchanges A Month

Image
What have we learned?Moving so many fields of data every month has taught us a few things. The first is that the structure of your data matters a great deal, particularly if you need data exchanges to be quick and inexpensive. To do that--one needs to structure the data correctly in the first place.

Dry topic? Sorry. Here is a fun animation to make it more interesting. Caution: the music starts up in scene three, and you'll be humming the tune later today. It's less than three minutes long. Check it out here:

More detail on Data PointsWe track the traffic across our APIs by "data points" which is simply one data field exchanged one time. If a record with 50 fields on it is called 100 times, that would be 5,000 data points.

The amount of transferred data also depends on the amount of data in the fields that are exchanged or queried. Some fields may only have a few characters or a simple "yes" or "no." Other fiel…

New Password Standards

Image
None of us like passwords.Well, except for the good they do for us.

New research from NIST helps us to understand better ways to build passwords, and Visionlink has released an upgrade to its CommunityOS 2 platform in response.

The most fundamental change in the standards by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), is about the frequency of forcing password changes. Survey says? Never.

That's right: in common use, requirements to change passwords every 30 or 180 days, as examples, result in less secure passwords.

The second major change concerns a previous recommendation to mix letters and numbers. Gone. And again, this is because the complexity causes real-world users to use passwords that can be broken too easily, and also because automated password breakers can easily deal with something like "st0rmC1ouds."

Repeated patterns (aaabbbccc) and sequences of adjacent keys on keyboards (jklnm), and common passwords are further examples of what we all should av…

CT State Infographic for Volunteering!

Image
The Connecticut State VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters), has created a great graphic to explain how the volunteer management solution works--with volunteers being able to sign up, register their skills and availabilities, and lead agency staff can then post volunteer needs, search for volunteers that can match the opportunities, and so forth. 

Visuals are always fantastic!  Visionlink is proud to provide this volunteer management solution and honored to help empower the time and talents of Connecticut's dedicated volunteers.
