The mission of FLOSSNet is to unlock the potential of free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) through education, training and consultancy services for the benefit of individuals, NGOs, CBOs, and small businesses in Africa. In fact, consider FLOSSNet as the first port of call if you require Joomla help or support. If we can't help you, we will know of someone else who will be able to assist. It will be indicated in the course, by which date you should pay to qualify. 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Audacity is an audio editor for recording, slicing, and mixing audio. Blender is a 3D content creation suite which is used for animation production. It is an ideal tool for creating software demonstrations and active presentations. GIMP is used for photo retouching, image composition & authoring. and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. Open Workbench is project management and project scheduling software. Some extensions are free, others will have to be purchased. That most modules, components, plugins are not migrated and have to be re-installed and configured afterwards, that is, if there is a version for that particular extension. Any changes suggested will be effected within the scope of the migration. The migration steps are iterative, since one might have to restart the process from scratch. However, there will be an additional cost if the client wants it to be fixed on the migrated website. Joomla makes it easy for non-technical people to develop and maintain websites without requiring programming, HTML or CSS knowledge. We conduct FREE webinars from time to time on various free and open source software. The aim of the webinars is to equip people with knowledge and/or skills on a variety of topics. A webinar is a live online presentation whereby participants will view what is happening on the presenter's screen coupled with audio. Do register on the website even if the time or date is not suitable so that we can inform you the next time when this webinar is conducted again. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.The core software is built by hundreds of community volunteers, and when you’re ready for more there are thousands of plugins and themes available to transform your site into almost anything you can imagine. Two months free support after the course within the scope of the course. This course can also be conducted on-site or one-to-one.
