The description from Minnesota CLE:

Tech Tuesday: Free and Open-Source Software for Running the Whole Law Office
Presented by Presented by Samuel Glover; moderated by Todd Scott and Peter Berge

Tuesday, March 18, 2008, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. CST
1.0 law office management credit
Tuition: $75

Part of the ongoing “Tech Tuesday” webcast series, streaming the third Tuesday of most months.

The standard commercial software for running a law office is by no means cheap. There are, however, alternatives. In this Tech Tuesday webcast, attorney Sam Glover, the author of the SoloSmallTech.com blog, will talk about free and open-source alternatives to standard operating systems and office suite, calendar, tickler, and file management applications. His conclusion, surprising to some, is that free and open-source software has progressed to the point that it competes toe-to-toe with its commercial counterparts and meets all the requirements for electronic filing with the courts.

Presented by Sam Glover, Samuel J. Glover & Assoc., Minneapolis; moderated by Todd C. Scott, Minnesota Lawyers Mutual, Minneapolis, and Peter H. Berge, Minnesota CLE, St. Paul.
