Open Source Software helps to bridge the gap of the Digital Divide.
It is important for some people to have access to media production software at home. For that reason I am starting up a Group on CCTV's site that will allow members to post information, tutorials and links to free Open Source Software ( OSS ) which will enable all of our members to create media for CCTV.

To get the ball rolling, I will start with four programs that I use regularly.

Open Office
http://www.openoffice.org
This set of programs is similar to Microsoft Office.

GIMP
http://www.gimp.org
This program is similar to Photoshop

Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
This is an excellent audio editor.

Blender
www.blender.org
3D animation software. It is similar to Maya. read more...
