Ministry as Open Source: The Tools

published Jun 18, 2007 07:06

The open source world includes millions of people working on projects together from all around the world. The past couple weeks we talked about open source philosophy applied to the church and this week we talk about the tools that allow people from all over the world to collaborate as if they are in the same office.

These tools, like mailing list, chat, IRC, forums and more are more than just tools to use. There is a philosophy behind them that can be taken into the physical world, your community, and your church.

You might be thinking, what can these tools do that help people collaborate from around the world do for my church that's local and not huge in size? Come listen to the 'cast to find out.

Before we close out our series on Ministry as Open Source we talk about stealing. What is stealing on the Internet? Is it OK to take a website design? Going outside the law is it good to take someones design? Come join us on the podcast where we talk about this and more.
