FOSS Tutorials

Worcester farm group is interested in having some FOSS tutorials. Perhaps:

  • work through a few sample spreadsheets related to seed cost and

Basically how to do graph design & product management with open source tools. Malt will put together a one paragraph description of what we need and we can mail it out to ask pirates to help.
