Suggesting a change to FOSS is well and good, but the article has no meat on its bones. James should be pointing to specific FOSS packages and outlining immediate practical reasons for churches to adopt them in place of what they're using now. |

Yes, you are right, he should have pointed to either one of the following links PDF: http://www.matheteuo.org/downloads/Penguin-in-the-Pew.pdf HTML: [url=http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:XkEOO5oPjcUJ:www.matheteuo.org/downloads/Penguin-in-the-Pew.pdf Penguin in the Pew&hl=en&client=firefox-a]http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:XkEOO5oPjcUJ:www.mathet...[/url] |

Well as the author I appreciate your points but the article was not intended to be the end of the issue, hence why it was only called 'Part 1' I have posted a new blog entry over at libervis.com detailing my plans for the rest of the series. Thanks! |

I serve as the admnistrator at our church, and we use Linux for a lot of proxy services (squid, mail, etc) as well as mysql and apache to hold our church library and make it searchable via a browser. I've set up the library thing for a Christian private school as well. Granted, they still use a lot of Windows... but a lot of the back end infrastructure is now on Linux. Linux and FOSS make good sense for churches where budgets are usually limited (lots of volunteering, etc). |
