Agenda

Introduction to the Free Software philosophy
Free, stable and secure alternatives to the expensive operating systems on the market.
Office applications for documents, presentations and spreadsheets which are royalty-free and support working in your local language and are free to download and redistribute to anyone.
Simple and powerful audio and video editing tools which can be used to capture and edit your video and audio files.
Free professional grade photo editing software which is easy to install and use.
Email services for your domain and collaboratively work on documents and spreadsheets within and outside your organization. (No more sending attachments back and forth to make corrections, you can do it in real-time!)
Alternative licensing concepts for your original creative work like photos, videos, stories and more which help you share your work with others without copyright issues.
Free online materials for reading and research, free e-books for download, free online encyclopaedias
Social media applications for effective campaigning

and more...

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. "Free" stands for freedom in this case, though most of the software is also free of cost.
