NonProfit Open Source Initiative: "Open Source Primer
NOSI’s acclaimed primer describes what open source software is and what impact this type of software may have on the nonprofit sector.
The primer includes:
* case-studies of nonprofits of various sizes that are using open source software,
* a process for evaluating whether or not open source is right for an organization,
* and useful resources and information.
Written primarily in non-technical language, the Primer is accessible to a wide audience, including nonprofit managers with little hands-on technical expertise."
