Session Abstract:

It is possible to support any office computing task by using quality freeware and open source software. Kansas State University has produced a KSRE Computer Tool Kit that is used to give all computer users in K-State Research and Extension a standard set of computing tools. Kansas State uses their Computer Tool kit to augment purchased applications and provide a common set of programs their volunteers can use.
This presentation will cover the applications and utilities on the Computer Tool Kit along with how the kit is built. Discussion of licensing concerns will also be covered.
