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:
