Today, we're releasing the new version of the tried and true NOSI
primer. "Choosing and Using Free and Open Source Software: A Primer
for Nonprofits" is a no-nonsense, easy to read report that helps
nonprofits understand what free and open source software (FOSS) is,
what options are available for their organizations, and how they
can access support for using FOSS.
The primer includes all of the basics, and also discusses how to
look at TCO and strategic value in making decisions about FOSS.
There are many case studies describing the use of various FOSS
applications in the sector.
Fabulously, it also includes a live feed via API from Social Source
Commons of a particular set of 5 FOSS toolboxes: software for the
server, for the web, and for the three flavors of desktops,
Windows, Mac and Linux.
Read it on the web, or download a PDF: http://nosi.net/projects/primer
We're looking forward to your feedback and contributions! Feel free
to comment - you don't need to create an account on the NOSI site
to comment on the primer.
Also, I'll be starting a discussion about NOSI's future in just a
bit, on this very list, so stay tuned.
Peace,
Michelle
