-- BUILDING CAPACITY & STRATEGIC USE OF ICTs -- Free and open source software sweeps US non-profit tech conference Looking around at the recent Non-Profit Technology Enterprise Network conference in Philadelphia, it would have been easy to think that free and open source software is sweeping the non-profit world. With an attendance of over 700 people, this year's NTEN event featured a full track of six workshops on free and open source software (FOSS) topics - almost all of which were packed. ...
All this was followed by a non-NTEN event called Penguin Day (www.penguinday.org), a summit of almost 100 NGO staff, e-riders and developers interested in the connection between non-profits and FOSS. The day provided an opportunity for constructive -and energetic- conversations about usability, global collaboration, NGO/developer cooperation and the economics of FOSS. These conversations provided more fuel for what appears to be a growing movement within civil society for the use of FOSS. Mark Surman for APC
