                             Introduction
                                to the
                           OpenACS Project

                                  by
                              Don Baccus
                        <dhogaza at pacifier.com>

      Don is was instrumental in creating OpenACS (Open Architecture
      Community System) is an advanced toolkit that uses the aol
      web server along with the postgress database for creating scalable,
      community-oriented web applications.  Think of it as an
      alternative to Zope or midgard.

      Don will talk about OpenACS and his most recent project
      which was a rewrite of Green Peace International's web site
      using OpenACS.  See:

                           www.OpenACS.org
                          www.GreenPeace.org

      Come to the talk and hear about the project.
