A nonprofit technology support provider wanting </> to use open source software in your work? Then Penguin Day 2004 is </> for you. </> </> The first-ever Penguin Day on March 28, 2004 will bring together open </> source software (OSS) developers and non-profit technology staff for a </> day of learning and conversation to frankly address the </> challenges of developing open source tools for non profits and </> celebrate strengths and successes of open source in the </> nonprofit sector. </> </> Developed in collaboration with Aspiration, the </> Nonprofit Open Source Initiative (NOSI), the LINC Project of the </> Welfare Law Center, the Advocacy Project, and several individuals, the </> event is generously supported with a grant from the IBM International </> Foundation and other donors. </> </> Register now at <http://www.penguinday.org/>www.penguinday.org </> </> With a packed agenda of workshops, round tables, and speakers, Penguin </> Day 2004 will focus on two key questions: </> </> 1. How can nonprofits and technology support providers better inform </> open source developers of their needs and work flow, as well as about </> barriers to adopting open source solutions? </> 2. How can developer communities better deliver what non-profits need? </> </> Sessions will address: </> * requirement definition processes </> * product adoption/deployment models </> * project management & tracking requirements </> * in-house development and maintenance </> * quality assurance </> * funding models </> * project planning and sustainability </> </> See the full agenda at http://www.penguinday.org/agenda.html </> </> Penguin Day will take place right after the NTEN Non-Profit Technology </> Conference in Philadelphia and will build on the momentum generated </> there by </> two days of workshops and session on Open Source at the NTC, the "Open </> Source Primer" of the Non Profit Open Source Initiative (NOSI), and </> the NOSI Open Source Café. </> </> If you have any questions about the event, please contact Katrin </> Verclas or Allan Gunn at info@penguinday.org. </> </> We hope to see you there! </> </> Katrin and Gunner for the Penguin Day Working Group </> </> </> </> </> </> Yahoo!
