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.
