The San Francisco Nonprofit Technology Center will host the first "NOSI" salon on Dec. 11 in San Francisco, California. The Nonprofit Open Source Initiative (NOSI) wants to hear from nonprofits and their supporters: what are you thinking about open source software and its role in the nonprofit sector? In what ways is the connection working? How is it not? What kinds of new ideas and resources are needed? NOSI is also looking to start conversations on how to get nonprofits involved in the open source community. How do we foster open source development in the nonprofit sector? How do we educate nonprofit technology staff and consultants on the ethos of open source software, not just it's practical applications? The NOSI salon will be the chance to discuss this face-to-face. Snacks and beverages will be provided. For more information, visit NOSI's newly updated website. If you can't attend, you can login to the site and leave comments.
