Does Your Church Use OSS?

20 Dec in Article, Church, Linux, Open Source, Software, Windows

Instead of me writing an article, I thought it might be time to ask those who read this blog about their church's open source usage. So, in no particular order, here are some questions:

  • Does your church use open source software?
  • Does it use OSS on Windows, or a full OSS stack (e.g. Linux/*BSD)?
  • What open source applications does your church use?
  • Does your pastor know he's using OSS?
  • If you use OSS other than the usual suspects (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc), then what do you use it for?

At a guess, I'll say that most churches are probably in the "we use Firefox on Windows" category.

Church OSS

We use LibreOffice for any presentations, VLC for video playback and OpenLP for lyric projection.

Church OSS

Our church has a slightly weird setup, so the only thing that the church actually "owns" is the laptop we use for the lyrics, which is running Kubuntu Linux, with LibreOffice and OpenLP.
