January 16, 2008 I’ve had a few interesting things happen lately which is making me wonder about what’s happening with open source, and the perceptions of open source in the nonprofit sector. Of course, one can’t base anything on two forum comments, but I wonder if we haven’t turned a corner in the conversation.

The presentation is available on my wiki (it’s at the bottom.) Toward the end, a young man, who worked with urban kids of color on media and music, commented that he didn’t really know how to get access to the kinds of things available, and he noticed how few people of color were in the room. But it needs addressing. {

I've been thinking about how to best incorporate the back channel or in this case Twitter. Two recent blogs, " How To Present While People Are Twittering " and " Trends in Leadership Conferences " are the most recent blog posts packed with advice. Robert Scoble calls this taking a twitter break. One of the reflections.

However, I have realized that it is presently impossible have all of this in one package. Nonprofits are charged much lower rates (see comment below.) They are all cross-platform for participants, but none of these can show Linux desktops, and some (like Adobe in particular) can’t even run the presenter software on Linux.
