With all the talk about Open Source, or "free," software, it's still
unclear to many just what it is; its benefits and ramifications for
individuals and companies, productivity and business. So WWWAC is
pleased to announce the start of its Open Source SIG, where Open Source
software will be discussed and demystified.
OSSIG leader Clay Gordon will get things going by presenting the work
that he has done over the past 9 months developing Heck.com using
entirely Open Source technologies. He will discuss the business case
Heck considered for using Open Source tools as well as the development
process, deployment issues, and perceived competitive advantages of Open
Source, especially in contrast with the "best of breed" development
model, and discuss the value Open Source has added to the money-raising
process in this tight economy.
Should be an interesting and informative look into this growing, if not
well understood, software development "movement."

President, WWWAC
and acting SIG Coordinator (wouldn't you like this job? just ask...)
