[pgh-pm] Planning Open Source conferance for Governments and Non-Profits

[Robert Blackwell]

Perl Mongers,

I have been working with the non profit groups ( I am President of one) and governments a lot
lately.  Sadly I am not finding much open source.  Even worse people do not know what it is or how
much it could help.

So I am looking for people to help put on a YAPC style conference focused on OSS and
Non-Profit/Governments.  If anyone has any interest please let me know.

I few ideas:

Front Office:

Using the voter data with R to analyze voter patterns.
Writing reports with http://datavision.sourceforge.net/
Make your data come to life! with http://www.opendx.org/.
When is the bus coming?

Back office:

How to set up  Asterisk PBX and why would I want to.
Using Apache to host your community website.
Storing your data in an open source database.
CMS options.
