SUMMARY:Free & Open Source Software: What it is\, what it isn't\, and what it can do for you
DESCRIPTION:Join Mandy Ardelli-Roy for a casual\, interactive presentation about what free and open source software can do for you. \nDo you want to prolong the life of an old device? Maybe it’s telling you that you need a new operating system. If you want to avoid buying a new device and contributing to e-waste there are alternative free operating systems that you can use! Join Mandy to learn about Linux Mint\, and a variety of other programs and apps that might be useful to you. Can’t afford to pay for Microsoft Office? There are free office alternatives that Mandy can teach you about! Let’s simplify tech\, to save money and sanity. \nThis is a registered program. Please sign up below using your email or by calling the Sydney Branch at: 902-562-3161 to reserve your spot!
