There are, of course, many, many different open source projects that are in varied stages of development, some are quite mature, others not. These include operating systems, databases, web servers, and applications of a wide sort. Some software, especially on the server, such as Apache, MySQL, and others, are not only mature, they are ubiquitous, almost standard. Other software, such as desktop applications, lag behind in adoption, but are ready for you to use in your organization, right now. This webinar will cover the whole range of software, including server software, CMS, database applications, and desktop software. We will focus on what is really ready for use, now, both in terms of maturity of development for all applications, and ease of use, for end-user applications.

NOSI and NTEN are presenting the second in our series of webinars on Open Source software, on OpenOffice.org.

Although Microsoft Office seems to be the de facto standard for office suites, OpenOffice.org is a free and open source office suite with the same (and in some ways more) functionality as most of MS Office, will read and write MS Office file formats, and has a native file format that is an open standard, which protects data integrity and access forever. Learn about how you can use OpenOffice.org today in your organization.

Hear about the features of OpenOffice.org, how it can be useful in your organization, the community and support behind OpenOffice.org and even learn some about the weaknesses of OpenOffice.org.
