    Segment Two- The Open CD Project- Using Software for Windows to sell the Open Source model.

    Tonight on the show we will be joined by Eric Penne, of The Open CD Project. The OpenCD is a collection of high-quality Open Source Software, and p[resented in the form of a CD. All of the programs on the disc run under Windows; the disc is intended to be an Open Source showcase. New users can try out Open Source software in the comfort of their own, familiar operating system, rather than having to take the drastic step of reformatting their hard drive to install Linux.

    Quoted from their web site,
    Currently, the disc is aimed solidly at non-techies. The primary audience is expected to consist mostly of people who use computers regularly for their work, but are not power users. This might be, for example, Jane from Accounting, who spends a lot of time working on spreadsheets and checking her email. She can find her way around the computer without too much trouble, but wouldn't know a kernel from a TCP/IP stack. By showing the benefits of Open Source Software to users such as these, we hope to encourage its adoption -- in the workplace, in schools, and by individuals.


    If you are in a band or represent an artist, please contact us asap to be added to our play list.
