Aloha You are welcome to join us on Tuesday, September 18 from 6:00 to 8:30 for our monthly Open Source Pizza.
Our Speaker will be Scott Belford the founder of HOSEF (www.hosef.org) Scott will be discussing family trees, GED files, and a web-based app called PhpGEDview. "Growing Your Family Tree" More and more people are using genealogical software to research and develop their family tree. A problem quickly arises for families trying to collaborate - who has the 'hot' copy. Managing merges, updates, and changes can be challenging, and the current model is not conducive to sharing. >From the world of Free Software emerges PhpGedView http://www.phpgedview.net "PhpGedView is a revolutionary genealogy program which allows you to view and edit your genealogy on your website. PhpGedView has full editing capabilities, full privacy functions, can import from GEDCOM files, and supports multimedia like photos and document images. PhpGedView also simplifies the process of collaborating with others working on your family tree. Your latest genealogy information is always on your website and available for others to see." In September's Open Source Pizza, Scott Belford will demonstrate how easy it is to install phpgedview on any number of publicly hosted websites, to import your GEDCOM file, and to start growing your own family tree.
