Somewhat OT for this list. IIM Calcutta is conducting a 2-Day Management Development Programme "Free and Open Source Tools for SMEs and the Public Sector"
Programme Summary Financial barriers constrain small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to use pirated copies of commercial software for office, productivity and analytical applications. Free and/or open source software (F/OSS) provide an alternative route to efficiency and cost reduction without legal concerns. Much of the same logic applies to public sector organizations, which can benefit greatly from the freedom to change software according to need and not being locked to particular technology/service vendors. Programme Duration: 2 Days - 13/08/2009 – 14/08/2009 Target Audience Owners and technology managers of SMEs Systems Analysts and Technology Officers of public enterprises. Venue Tata Hall Indian Institute of Management Calcutta Joka, Diamond Harbour Road Kolkata 700104 Programme Fees Rs. 30,000 per participant. This would include course material, food, lodging and tea/coffee during the programme. Participants are requested to bring their own laptops. Programme fees are to be paid by Demand Draft/Cheque payable at any Bank in Kolkata. The DD/Ch. should be made in favour of “Indian Institute of Management Calcutta” and sent to the following address at least three weeks prior to the commencement of the MDP.
