The organisations involved were invited to an initial session where they were introduced to FOSS and Ubuntu Linux. They then all received a personal training session at their own premises. After three months the organisations were invited to submit an interim assessment of their use of the computers. At the end of the project they were asked to fill in a questionnaire.

Software increasingly influences the productivity and budget of the voluntary and community sector (VCS). The participants in the East of England FOSS in the VCS project, who have been using the Ubuntu GNU/Linux computers for their work for more than four months, have sent us very interesting and diverse point of view about their experience so far. It provides interesting insight about the positive and negative points so far, as well as good ideas on how to continue forwards with the project.

The web pages are created using Joomla, a free, open source programme which produces high-quality interactive web pages. Joomla is based on modules, and allows the user to install whatever modules they wish on their site: for example, users may choose to have forums, have password-protected areas of the site, have user polls or events guides, or many more.
