[Casey DuBois]

Hello GRLUG,

I thought this meeting would be of interest.

aimWest April Meeting

TOPIC:
An Open Discussion of Open Source: How FREE Software Can Help Your Business

How can free software impact your bottom line? What does "free" really mean? Explore the myths and realities of open-source software in our interactive panel discussion.

Panelists will discuss the open-source software movement and how it affects businesses in every industry. We will address the opportunities and caveats of working with these free tools, and explore some of the options to select and implement these tools.

Most importantly, we want to answer your questions! This will be an audience-led discussion, so please come prepared with your own open-source queries.

The event is free for aimWest members.  $20 for non-members (cash or check).
