[Rajeev Nair]

Hi friends

Mahiti Bangalore along with Sarai CSDS is doing a 2 day workshop on ICT tools and techniques for non-profits ,using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)

What is Free Software and why is it relevant to you?

Free Software gives users the freedom to use, study, modify and redistribute the software without worrying about licensing and copyrights.This means there is no per-seat licensing unlike proprietary software and you are free to install it on as many systems as you like.

The workshop will cover the following topics:

General sessions :

• Introduction to FOSS
• How to install a Linux based operating system
• How to navigate the Linux desktop, using applications and installing software.
• How to get help and support
• How to compute and communicate in a language of your choice.

More specific sessions:

• General office and internet applications
• Ubuntu Linux installation (hands-on)
• Creating blogs and Wikis 
• Audio/Video editing tools (hands-on)
• Desktop publishing tools (hands-on)
• New-age licensing concepts (Creative Commons etc)
• Migration to FOSS with minimal hassles
• Compatibility of FOSS software with proprietary ones

Venue Details:
