Editor's Notes

  1. Open Source, Free and Low Cost Computer Programs:  A Users Guide to Freeware, Shareware and Open Source Software for Your Not-for-Profit, Business and Home. A Users Guide to Freeware, Shareware and Open Source Software for Your Not-for-Profit, Business and Home
  2. Software a collection of computer programs, procedures and documentation that perform task on a computer system Open source is software that is freely distributed, The source code of which must be included or be obtainable for free, redistribution of modifications.
  3. Freeware is software made available for use by someone who usually has a copyright on the source code but makes it available for use free of charge, for an unlimited time; Source code is the series of instructions in the background that make up the software program. Shareware is a marketing method for computer software. Shareware software is typically obtained free of charge, often by downloading from the Internet. A shareware program is accompanied by a request for payment, and the software's distribution license often requires such a payment.
  4. Computer based software is installed on your computer or server. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Word are examples of computer-based software. Web based software is located on a server that is located somewhere else and is made available to you when you need it, Google Pack is an example of web based software. NOTE THE USE OF WIKIPEDIA
  5. Definition of FREE for purposes of this presentation: Freedom to chose, freedom from a software monopoly, freedom to think and to have clients and customers think and do in an “outside of the box” environment. Someone is out there spending time energy and making an effort to make this software and this need to be acknowledged, respected and it should be appreciate.
  6. Explain Compatible vs. comparable: Open Office, the program used to develop this presentation is COMPARABLE to MS Office, it is also compatible. PDFcreator and CutePDF used to make PDF files from Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Publisher Documents is COMPATIBLE with Microsoft Products.
  7. To make this jump you need to be willing to shift from rote learning of the location of keys to fundamentals. What is the name of what you want to do and how do you find it. Making this mind shift is especially good for your clients if you are trying to get them ready for employment. In jobs that are not dead end, an employee that knows how to think is much more valuable than an employee that knows what to think
  8. Reasons to use open source, freeware and shareware programs 1. They are FREE or nearly free, you can save a lot of MONEY. In the case of shareware, you get to “try before you buy”. 2. Developers know that most of their software program users do not have the most up to date hardware so they make the programs to work on older computers.
  9. Reasons to use open source, freeware and shareware programs Open Office, alternative to Microsoft Office, allows you to work with, save and send Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher documents as if you were using the Microsoft equivalent product. Openoffice is FREE or $10 for a CD copy. Openoffice allows you to save documents as a PDF file for easy distributions across different types of computers and to recipients who may not have PowerPoint or Publisher. Firefox, alternative to Internet Explorer has fewer vulnerabilities then IE and it is FREE.
  10. Doodle is a true time saving, easy to use program to arrange meetings. It takes your information, creates a poll and sends you a lin that you send to everyone you want to invite to your meeting.
  11. Reasons to use open source, freeware and shareware programs Linux, an alternative operating system may make sense for your organization, that is a longer discussion, today we just want to mention the potential for those of you who operate computers for clients or customers. If you want easy to use, customizable interfaces and security features that make you wonder why you use windows try Linux. MOST Windows applications run on Linux but not many of the games, a big plus for productivity in educational settings.
  12. The good programs have a small learning curve. This is true of: AbiWord - substitute for Microsoft Word on old laptop to take notes Thunderbird - takes the place of Microsoft Outlook Sunbird - replaces Microsoft Outlook’s calendaring functions GimpShop - forget Adobe Photoshop PDF Creator - if you want to make a PDF file from a Microsoft Office document without Acrobat. GnuCash - for accounting instead of using Quicken or MS Money GanttPVor those crazy enough, or desperate enough to be using Microsoft Project .
  13. Provided by Microsoft Legal domain registration or transfer Design templates Support for multiple pages Customizable Microsoft Office Live Small Business Sample – GNHCC SBA
  14. Finding software at a reduced price or for free: Discounted software for not-for-profits: TECHSOUP Other sources: TUDOGS SOCIALSOURCE COMMONS And the world's largest Open Source software development website SourceForge.net. They provides free hosting to Open Source software development projects with a centralized resource for managing projects, issues, communications, and code.
