About this event
The Open Source Showcase for Non-Profits is an event where decision makers in NGOs and public sector groups can learn about open source, from the people who actually create and support open source software. Technical experts involved in many different open source projects will be on hand to provide a vendor-neutral, non-profit-focused perspective on how organizations can benefit from these high quality, freely available tools.
Register for the event at the Ontario NonProfit Network website.
