Xen comes to mind. I think we’re pretty close to the model of Intel or Red Hat’s contribution to the Linux kernel: Zmanda pays folks (like me!) to develop open source software. You could add a few more OSS apps to your list. Zend seems to have done a pretty good job maintaining PHP while also doing business.

Before I took off, I wanted to mention a few things that have been on my mind (and on my plate.) That is actually one of the things I’m going to try and change – to set up to do a post every weekday. We’ll see how that goes. First, some of you might know that the new version of the NOSI primer has been in the works.

To my mind, it bodes well for the open source tools. It wasn’t scientific, and the sample was about.05% 05% of the nonprofits in the United States (the foundation center says that there are about 1.4 million of them.) How could that be representative? NTEN did a great job of beginning to approach this topic, and it was great data.

It does mean that everyone who is involved in a webinar needs to install Skype – but that seems to be a minor issue, to my mind. .&# But interestingly, Yugma is now integrated with Skype, which totally changes the whole audio on a separate channel issue. But, you can’t use the Skype edition on Linux yet, either.

However I wanted to record, primarily for my own sake, while fresh in my mind a recap of the social media tools we used (and other related factors) for our conference.

I am the one who, with the interests of the sustainability of my own small organization in mind, refused. Katrin Verclas (the Executive Director of NTEN, for those who don’t know) was eager to know if there was any way to make it open and pushed hard for it.
