Free Training on Open Source Alternatives 10/11

[Lindsey]

There's an app for that! But is it worth the pricetag?

This session will review some of the major proprietary systems and
programs, and offer open source alternatives. It's not a pitch for
Linux over Windows (although it's become a great alternative), but a
chance to learn about programs to help keep your tech budget in
check.

Some of the things we will cover are:

Word processing, spreadsheet, and office applications
Desktop publishing
Graphic design
Audio and video recording and editing
Groupware, calendaring, and email
Intranets
Document repositories
Surveys
Financial and bookkeeping systems
Point of sale and gift shop systems
Donor and member management systems
Business intelligence and advanced reporting
Data conversion, integration, and manipulation
Computer backups and "ghosting"
Content management systems (for websites)

This session is appropriate for nonprofits of all sizes, from big
enterprises to single-person organizations.

Executive Directors and IT decision makers are encouraged to attend.
