I will be giving this Webinar for NSBA TLN series on Tuesday March 16th, at 10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern, 5pm GMT. It will be held on Elluminate, and I am pretty sure that it will be recorded and accessible after that for open viewing.
Hope to "see" you in the crowd !
Because of the low costs associated with Open Source software. people install it easily at home and in the classroom with few problems. Additionally, because Open Source software is promoted by many enthusiasts, who communicate their enthusiasm very well, generalizing Open Source at the organizational level seems a no-brainer. The problem is that installing software on a computer isn’t the same as making it work on dozens or thousands of computers. There are challenges that you must consider before taking on a transition to Open Source. This webinar presentation is about getting to know what you could avoid in implementing Open Source in your organization.
