Microsoft Office vs. OpenOffice, and Membership Databases

by Laura S. Quinn

Our March articles are out and ready for your perusal, and I think they’re some pretty good ones:

Microsoft Office vs. OpenOffice.org
by Brett Bonfield and Laura S. Quinn
For a while, Microsoft Office was the only office suite in town. But in the last couple of years, a viable open source option has emerged: OpenOffice.org. Should you consider OpenOffice? Will it makes sense for your organization? What are the differences between these two office suites?

A Few Good Databases for Membership Organizations
Membership organizations can have a complex set of database needs, and there’s an equally complex market of tools that have been designed to meet them. We asked seven nonprofit technology professionals what membership databases they would recommend.

As always, our March eNews also rounds up the most interesting nonprofit software articles and news of the past month.

Thanks for the link to the article! I would add/emphasize that the drawing tools in OpenOffice are great, not just for designs but for technical diagrams. The PDF export is a huge benefit; you can even batch export Microsoft or OpenOffice files to PDF.
