Cultural heritage organizations rely almost entirely on proprietary software and many refuse to believe that the systems they choose directly impact their long term success as largely grant-funded organizations.
This session will explore the options for free software in the cultural heritage space and inspire participants to work with organizations to help make the transition. It will also talk about the pros and cons of working with free software in the cultural heritage space and touch on many of the issues that professionals face while making the transition. The session will end with future-state imagining to dream up how we can better support new projects in free software for cultural heritage as well as invite people into already existing communities.
