Have you heard of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Linux? Or maybe you have heard of Firefox, WordPress or Drupal?
What do these things have in common? They are all Open Source Technology!
Open Source Technology is technology created by developers that is non-proprietary and can be modified and upgraded
by a community of other developers.
Open Source Technology is generally free and accessible to anyone who wants to download it.
Open Source Technology is being used in businesses, organizations and schools across the country.
Come and learn more about how the Open Source community is making technology bigger, better and more accessible for
all from our panel of Open Source enthusiasts and experts.
The panel is being led by Kevin Cole and Mackenzie Morgan.
Kevin Cole is a research applications programmer for the Gallaudet Research Institute at Gallaudet University. He is an advocate of using shared open technology to teach and learn. He is also the reluctant leader of the Ubuntu DC LoCo (Local
Community) team, where he is known to volunteer at local libraries teaching locals Ubuntu.
Mackenzie Morgan is a Computer Science major at George Washington University. Specializing in Linux, she works with the Linux community both online and offline helping new users.
