Choosing and Using Open Source Software: A Primer for Nonprofits
Learning to Deploy "free" or "open source" Software
http://www.nosi.net/primer/NOSIPrimer.pd...

"Choosing and Using Open Source Software: A Primer for Nonprofits" describes what open source software is and what impact this type of software has on the nonprofit sector. Developed with a grant from the IBM International Foundation, the Open Source Primer also includes several case studies of nonprofits of various sizes that are using open source software, a process for evaluating whether open source software is right for an organization, and valuable resources and information. Written in non-technical language, it is accessible to a wide audience, including nonprofit managers with little hands-on technical expertise.
