Pro-bono ain’t free
As I work more in the social sector and also hear and learn from other CxOs, �free technology development� is a buzzword and gets a lot of NGO staff really excited about it. Being a skeptic on any free stuff, this has been a difficult subject to navigate personally. And to reiterate the obvious point that I am not against free stuff (we do it for our platforms all the time too :)); it is great that NGOs can leverage free but the downsides are something that should be considered by NGOs to make a more informed decision rather than the excitement of �free stuff�.
