Information Technology and the NGO

OpenOZ Pty Ltd has a mission to improve the IT capabilities of all NGO's across all sectors and promotes proprietary technologies when necessary or appropriate, although Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is the backbone of our organisation and our direction. OpenOZ Pty Ltd is actively focused on building a network through which NGO's could learn about FOSS — something that was almost entirely absent from the NGO sector before 2001. This has involved building an infrastructure of people, knowledge, resources, documentation, intermediaries, vocabularies, technology, and institutions through which FOSS can become a more visible and attractive option for NGO.
