Basebox launched - tools for non-profits

Spotted on the e-rider news today, was the announcement of the web launch of the latest edition of NGO-in-a-box, the BaseBox which looks like it will prove to be a great resource for not for small to medium sized organisations. Produced by Tactical Tech in association with Women'sNet, the BaseBox aims to make it easier to set up base, find the right software and learn how to use it. It comprises a whole range of reviewed open source tools and software helping organisations to be able to make informed choices on what to use, plus the important guidelines and information on how to use it all. The edition can be accessed online as a CD download in the coming weeks ahead, so it will provide a wealth of materials all in one place, which is great to be able to pass on to others when supporting them with their first steps into open source rather than having to tell them they need to download this and that.

Moving it over to Wordpress…

Well, I've succumbed to the easier quick way to blog, moving my blog site to Wordpress. I do love Modx and will still use it for most if not all my future sites, but for the main Popokatea website, both Tony and I wanted blogs on the site, which can easily be done with ubercool Modx, but he really needed something, quick and easy to get along with.
