Linux for the Greens

[Lee Einer]

Hi, all-

Would any of you be interested in meeting with the Maricopa County Green 
Party regarding the possibility of their transitioning  from MS Windows 
to the Linux OS?  I have been invited to meet with some Green volunteers 
on Monday, January 27th, at 6:00PM to discuss their technology issues 
and the possibility of transitioning to Linux. As I bring more 
enthusiasm than  technical knowledge to the table, it would help quite a 
bit if any of you more IT literate  folk would join me.. It is possible 
that we will be forming an IT subcommittee. The Maricopa Greens  
currently use the MS Windows OS. Their chief practical concerns are 
website creation and maintenance (for which they are currently using MS 
FrontPage) and a database tailored for use by non-profits. They are 
currently planning to utilize the  Ebase database, which is 
Windows-centric, but there are other competing databases available, such 
as Convio, which appears to be Linux based, and E-Tapestry and 
DonorPerfect, which are available in web-based versions.

Any of you who are interested in attending, and/or volunteering to 
assist, please let me know-

Thanks!

Lee Einer
