There are lots of applications available for the Windows platform that are Open Source. What does this mean exactly? “Open Source” indicates that the source code is released with the product and is available for you to modify if you feel it is necessary. Open Source software is very often distributed free of charge or at a significantly reduced price. You can experience the freedom of OSS without leaving your familiar Window's platform. Nancy will show a variety of high quality OSS for the Windows platform, including the office suite from OpenOffice.org as well as GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) which rivals Adobe Photoshop. Copies of TheOpenCD will be available for give-away or sale at a nominal price. We'll also talk about some new and exciting developments in OSS.
Nancy is a mathematics instructor at Sinclair Community College. She leads the Digital Photography SIG, is heavily involved with the Linux, Genealogy, and Gaming SIGs, and served as Chair for Computerfest 2005. Nancy has been a fan of OSS since 1998. She presented seminars on OSS for Windows at Computerfest in 2004 and 2005.

DMA Trustees have been struggling to provide adequate facilities for our monthly General Membership meetings. Both UD and WSU presented challenges. We have been searching for a location that is comfortable for our members, room enough for all attendees, offers free parking, equipped with audio, visual, and internet, and still affordable for the organization. HHAF Hall meets all qualifications. Apple-Dayton meets here regularly.
April is our trial month. Please come out and have a look at this facility. If feedback from our membership is positive, we will reserve the Warrior Room for the coming year.
All are welcome. The meetings start at 7:00 p.m. Guests are always
welcome.
