NewsForge | Penguin Day Seattle employs FOSS for good works

NewsForge | Penguin Day Seattle employs FOSS for good works: "Free and open source software can help save the world. That was the point of Seattle's Penguin Day, which brought together nonprofits and FOSS advocates looking to support this other community.

The event, held last weekend, drew organizations from around the country and around the globe, including Maryland, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, D.C., Canada, the UK, and Turkey.

There was no shortage of give and take between open source advocates and nonprofit representatives looking for software that is less expensive, more flexible, and closer in line with their community ideology."
