by John Billings 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Greetings all, On Thursday, 12 March, WLUG will be co-sponsoring several talks on OpenOffice.org repeated throughout the day at St. Paul's Methodist Center in Hamilton. Our presenter will be Graham Lauder. Graham is the marketing contact for OpenOffice.org in New Zealand. Last year he gave an excellent presentation at our Software Freedom Day event. Since that time OpenOffice 3 has been released, and this will be a good time to catch up with him about whats changed in this new version. The event is a collaboration between the 20/20 Waikato Trust, and Community Waikato. http://waikato2020.wainet.org/ http://www.ssw.org.nz/ These talks are for the benefit of not-for-profit organizations and the communities they serve. Linux, OpenOffice.org and other Free/Open Source Software applications are being used more and more by not-for-profits due to lower cost, no licensing hassles, and because of the high quality of the software most of all. OpenOffice.org has a page dedicated to the ways non-profits can benefit from using it's software here: http://why.openoffice.org/why_nfp.html These talks are open to WLUG members, we are a not-for-profit incorporated society after all. We Linux users value the empowerment and freedom FOSS software gives us. This is an opportunity to spread the word about our group to people who share these values. If you are an employee, volunteer or associated with a non-profit in any way, these presentations are intended for you. If you know someone who may be interested in this talk, please pass along this information. If there is someone involved with a non-profit you've been wanting to talk to about using FOSS, now is your chance. Sessions will be repeated at 10 AM, Noon, 3 PM and 7 PM. If you would like to attend please send an RSVP to: john(a)nimhq.net Let me know which session you plan to attend. You can download the flyer from the meeting announcement page on the wiki here: http://wlug.org.nz/MeetingTopics.2009-03-12
