As the IT Director for the NC Methodist Conference I belong to the United Methodist Information Technology Association (UMITA). We meet once a year and discuss issues affecting technology and the United Methodist Church. This year’s meeting will be held next week in Norcross, GA. I will be presenting on why churches need a web presence and how to get one established.
I covered this topic with my coworker Derek Leek at annual conference a few months ago and have built off of the same materials. This presenation will focus exclusively on using open source software and free online tools to accomplish the job. No church should have to spend lots of money to create their place online.
I am looking forward to seeing old friends again and catching up with the other conferences. It will be interesting to see and hear about their current issues.
