Open Source Software Resources and Free Stuff!

Open source software is designed by highly capable programmers and developers with one idea in mind - making access to high-quality software available to everyone. That means that the usually free, open source programs rival their expensive, commercial counterparts in power and quality. Many visionaries have said that open source is the wave of the future for strapped schools. Try these out and spread the word about them to family and friends who might want to save a few bucks on software. The fact that you can produce papers, presentations, web pages and sites, etc. for almost no cost truly evens the academic playing field. 

OpenOffice.Org - The open source answer to office suites like Microsoft Office and Works. The suite includes a word processor, a spreadsheet program, and a presentation creator, among other apps.

KompoZer - While not quite as powerful as other WYSIWYG HTML editors like Dreamweaver or FrontPage, KompoZer is free. And there is lots of help and support both within the program and online. Much of the PHHS site was built with KompoZer!

Connexions - An open source site that provides online textbooks that you can edit to fit your course, print out, or use as is. And you can even create your own textbook for others to use and join the open source movement.

Freewebs - Great web hosting site that many of us at PH already use. You can choose to either use their site building tools or upload your own site files.
