Technology: Cool Tools For Change

I attended this very engaging and interesting seminar last Friday and learned about all these useful and no/low cost open source tools that non-profits can use to enhance their web presence and improve how they operate. A lot of the things I learned can be applied to my current work on the Intranet Redesign Project. We will experiment with some of these open source Content Management Systems as an alternative to the $1/2 million cost of one from a traditional vendor.
This seminar was organized by students at the UT LBJ School of Public Affairs. Here is their website: CommunityNetworking.org
I am so pumped. I love learning new things and especially love learning about tools that democratize technology.
