Today, we're releasing the new version of the tried and true NOSI primer. 'Choosing and Using Free and Open Source Software: A Primer for Nonprofits' is a no-nonsense, easy to read report that helps nonprofits understand what free and open source software (FOSS) is, what options are available for their organizations, and how they can access support for using FOSS. The primer includes all of the basics, and also discusses how to look at TCO and strategic value in making decisions about FOSS. There are many case studies describing the use of various FOSS applications in the sector.Fabulously, it also includes a live feed via API from Social Source Commons of a particular set of 5 FOSS toolboxes: software for the server, for the web, and for the three flavors of desktops, Windows, Mac and Linux.The primer won't be printed this time - we have it in HTML format, and PDF. Please check out details on the update plans as well.We're looking forward to your feedback and contributions!
