[edit] Introduction

The Open Publishing Edition of NGO-in-a-box is a toolkit of free and open source software, tutorials and guides for producing, publishing and distributing content. The edition was produced by Tactical Tech in collaboration with iCommons. The box is aimed at small to medium sized non-profits, independent media organisations, free culture creators and grassroots journalists, with a particular emphasis on those in developing and transition countries. Check it out!!!

The contents of the toolkit will be selected by an editorial team made up of leading international practitioners working in DIY publishing, free culture, technology for social justice and the development and deployment of free and open source software. The box is currently in production following a two day editorial 'sprint' held last June at the iCommons summit in Rio de Janeiro.

[edit] Mothballed

We have decided to leave the following sections as they are too much to fit in this one compilation.

These are the previous categories before they were revised.
