open source software in business
DESCRIPTION
This is the slide deck for a presentation I gave while a student at the University of Houston Downtown, probably some time in 2007. I tried to explain to my classmates the advantages of open source software in business. I just came across this file on an old thumb drive and figured I should upload it somewhere so it hopefully hangs around forever. [email protected]TRANSCRIPT
