Well, IMHO the conference was fantastic, I particularly loved the
presentation of the MP. Particularly that he was very "English"
talking about the "need" to have a special version of Word for the
GPs. I loved that

Well, basically we are working with several web based applications,
among them of course Word Press, phpBB and Dokeos among others. In the
future we plan to  implement osCommerce. The NGO is basically
dedicated to Sustainable development.  As you can guess, I am the IT
"expert" in the organization so I get to decide what goes in and what
not (in software terms).

Don't know what else to write so I'll leave it at that. Any comments
will be appreciated. Of course related to  Open Source or Linux.

cheers,

Omar.
