About the Workshops:

The world of free, open source and community developed technologies is rapidly expanding, offering massive potential for free and low cost solutions, saving money and supporting collaborative projects run by enthusiasts around the globe.

Despite recent widespread adoption of Open Source technologies, the world is still a confusing one, clouded by jargon and stalwart tech heads resenting letting newbies in.

The arts, non-profit and small business worlds could especially
benefit from adopting some of the hundreds of tools out there, not only to help frequently tight budgets but to also encourage the work of similarly minded people in a different medium. The workshop intends to guide participants through the pitfalls of adopting open source technology, outlining the problems, difficulties and solutions in a friendly and understandable way, presented by individuals who have
been through the same experiences and are knowledgeable in the worlds of art, running non-profits / small businesses and technology.

We hope to see you there!
