CONFERENCE
Demystifying Open Source
What do the words "Open Source" mean to you and your organization? This term is used with increasing frequency and many in the nonprofit world are not quite sure what it means. Is it free software? Can I use it instead of Microsoft Software? Is it hard to install? Is it politically correct?
Join us on October 8th for "Demystifying Open Source Technology," a conference designed specifically to provide an introduction to open source technologies for the nonprofit community. We will discuss the different ways open source technology can be utilized by your organizations, and whether and how it could be a viable solution. We will also look at applications that have been created using the open source philosophy, as well at how open source is being implemented by nonprofits.
You will be able to choose two of three breakout sessions: - Demonstrations of open source software - Case studies of nonprofits using open source systems - Examples of nonprofit web applications using open source solutions.
For the low cost of $30, all participants receive a bootable Linux CD, continental breakfast, and a safe place to learn more about open source technology. Co-sponsors of this conference include Fund for the City of New York, New York Cares, The Nonprofit Coordinating Committee and The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York.
