What Community Source is Not! • Not a vendor • We are a collaboration • Institutions and companies with shared a values • We have no sales force, just people who believe in collaboration, cooperation, and a shared model of development • Not A Hands Down approach • Participants are at the table making decisions at every stage • Partners fully understand the system up front SACRAO Annual Conference - Raleigh, NC 2014
Is Community/Open Source Really Free? • Yes, as far a the cost of the software and ongoing maintenance is concerned • Free like a puppy, not a beer • No direct cost to download and implement the software • No ongoing maintenance fees each year • Costs are not hidden • Each institution will need implementation support, either in-house or through a vendor • Training costs to maintain the system locally • These are no different than the costs of a vended solution SACRAO Annual Conference - Raleigh, NC 2014
Why Should You Be Involved? • Costs are significantly lower, and support by the community is readily available • Share development resources with other higher ed institutions • Have a seat on the Board and Functional Council • Influence product strategy formulated by the community • Control your own implementation and upgrade strategies, to best use your internal resources SACRAO Annual Conference - Raleigh, NC 2014
