Recent agenda additions include leaders of the Joomla Team discussing
FOSS communities, a passionate Plone practitioner from NetCorps
sharing skills, and Beth Kanter, who will lead a discussion on Open
Content.
Penguin Day DC is taking place Saturday, April 7th, from 9am to 5pm at:
Josephine Butler Parks Center

What is Penguin Day?
Are you passionate or curious about the reality, the potential and the
role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in nonprofit
organizations? Do you want to learn about latest free and open web
publishing tools and technologies? Would you like to meet other
like-minded and passionate participants, including developers,
activists, and nonprofit "techies"?
Penguin Day DC will bring together nonprofit technology staff with
free and open source software (FOSS) developers for a day of learning
and conversation.
We'll explore and explain open source for nonprofits, frankly address
the challenges of developing open source tools for nonprofits, and
celebrate strengths and successes of open source in the nonprofit
sector. Leading open source innovators in the nonprofit sector will
share their stories and knowledge, and focus on answering your
questions!
If you are curious about open source software for your nonprofit
organization, Penguin Days are for you!

We hope to see you there!
peace,
