Aim
Create a collection of presentations, case studies and resources for using and promoting Ubuntu and FLOSS software in Not-For-Profit and community organisations.
Status: Part of Ubuntu Australia Documentation Project / Ongoing
Started: Mon, 8 May 2006
In particular, if you have any case studies or arguments of why using Ubuntu makes sense for Not-For-Profit organisations, please let me know. Create a Wiki page with the details, and add the link here (or let PaulSchulz know).

Hear about the work with the Aboriginal Community in Copley where Noven divi Flamen (Project Officer) build a computer network to assist the local community.
Novan has been intervied on the Linux Australia Update (podcast) which can be found here.. [http://mirror.linux.org.au/podcasts/la-update/laupdate_episode_24_20060611.ogg ogg] [http://mirror.linux.org.au/podcasts/la-update/laupdate_episode_24_20060611.mp3 mp3] (at 10min21sec into the episode)
With a budget of $0, donated equipment and a train grant, Noven has been able to provide a useful and sustainable system to his local community.
