The event was presented by Twilio and Open 311 , one of the organizations leading the charge to make government data public, accessible, and usable. I've kind of become an open-data geek in the past few months, largely thanks to NetSquared's unconference at NTC. Redefining government is the next step.

April 15, 2007 At NTC , there was a lot of talk about the “big three&# open source CMS packages that most people these days in our sector are using: Drupal , Plone , and Joomla. I hadn’t had experience with either Plone or Joomla, but in talking to folks both at NTC and Penguin Day about Joomla, I got intrigued.

This is, for sure, one of the most robust open source CMS to CRM integrations out there, and one that seems to be getting pretty close to providing very powerful integration “out-of-the-box&# – instead of having to piece things together and do customized code, which is more common than not. 3 Christopher Johnson 05.05.09

Audacity - open source and free, lots of community resources, have to download a separate mp3 encoder but they have links on their site. Can import other sources well. ID3 tags - can use itunes for this, drag album art and file over. the only difference is that there is an enclosure tag that points to the file.
