What this Blog is about - FUD

The purpose of this blog is to post thoughts, musings and observations on Open Source and the use of it by faith based organizations.

There is a lot of FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) out there on this topic. I hope through the next several posts to begin to help clear this up and allow Faith based organizations to save money and have more effective ministries with the tools and technology that are available to them.

I operate the Open Source project OSC (Open Source Church) on Sourceforge. I also operate the Commercial offering of OSC ChurchLedger.com. This has been a significant undertaking but it is a personal ministry of mine to provide Church Website hosting and Church Management Software at an affordable cost for all sizes of churches.

I have been developing OSC and involved in Open Source since 1999 and have come across quite a bit and I've also started several endeavors locally to push open source. I hope to post my findings here to help alleviate the unfounded fear that goes along with Open Source.
