> >An event is currently being organised for Wednesday 15 September in
> London(the day after the UK Circuit Riders Conference)to examine the
> potential that Open Source Software (OSS) has for the Non-profit/NGO
> Sector. The event is going to be pretty informal, geared around examples
> of projects that have used OSS, with a discussion/hands-on environment,
> rather than a purely audience/speaker format. It has been put together by
> a group of volunteers who work for a variety of Non-profit/NGO
> organisations and who think OSS might have something to offer
> >the sector.
> >
> >The event is aimed at those with some interest in Non-profit/NGO
> ICT, >but who may only have heard vaguely about Open Source, and want to
> find out more. This could include Circuit Riders (the event takes place
> on the day after the London Circuit Rider Conference), IT/Resource
> Managers, "accidental techies"...
> >
> >We are also keen to attract people who have already applied open source
> >solutions in a voluntary or community setting, and who would like to
> share their experiences.

> >If this sounds of interest, more details can be found on the event wiki,
> >kindly hosted by LASA at:

> >We're keen to get as much feedback as possible before the event in
> order >to tune the programme. If you've got suggestions or questions
> regarding >issues around Open Source, please send them to us via the

> >even if you can't come to the event!

> >We're even keen to get people's suggestions on a good name for this
> >initiative, as we're trying to stay away from anything too
> technical. >We've got a working title of "Open Source Meze", but if
