?Choosing and Using Open Source Software: A Primer for Nonprofits? describes what open source software is and what impact this type of software may have on the nonprofit sector.

It includes:

* case-studies of nonprofits of various sizes that are using open source software,
* a process for evaluating whether or not open source is right for an organization,
* and useful resources and information.

Written primarily in non-technical language, the Primer is accessible to a wide audience, including nonprofit managers with little hands-on technical expertise.
