[TriLUG] Sept 9 meeting: Technology to collaborate, meet and communicate

[Robert Dale]

Is this meeting presenting Open Source and/or Linux-based software??

This club is a Meetup of NetSquared, which is a "social change"
non-profit and an initiative of techsoup, which is the "technology
place for non-profits", which seems to connect commercial vendors with
other non-profits, and has Microsoft written all over it, literally.
So it's really not clear if they're talking about Free Software or
free $oftware (for non-profits).  I'm definitely not interested in an
marketing pitch.

In any case, there are some very nice open source collaboration tools.
