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.
