Thanks for the comment, but I’m not sure about what’s got the burr under your saddle? The slide deck was authored in Open Office, and posted on the Readytalk site by our webinar host. It will be a better world when everyone can seamlessly open .odp files, but in the meantime we elect not to dictate formats, even if we were able. And the consultants mentioned in the slideware all deliver solutions on FOSS CMS stacks; we make no money recommending or endorsing those excellent services. So please call off the snark dogs, we’re fighting on the same side, mate!

Tech consultants using power-point to distribute what is, pretty much, adware.

Giggle.

I mean - read your own manifesto sometime:

“If it is not free (as in speech) and open (as in open), it is worth trying to avoid. While the promise of free and open source software has sometimes been oversold, and is only some of the time realized in the nonprofit sector (CMS! Browser! CRM!), closed solutions like Blackbaud, Quickbooks and Microsoft continue to dictate licensing, workflow and data formats to nonprofit users. Tools that lock in organizations, that charge usurious fees, or which fail to give nonprofits flexibility and control of their long-term destiny should be de-prioritized in favor of those which are designed to give nonprofits sovereign control of their operations and processes. Closed tools which are “too important to avoid” should catalyze movements of those passionate and willing to create healthy, sustainable free and open alternatives.”

So should I believe what you say, or what you do? Or neither?
