OStatic

Since its inception, we've tried to make collections of tips, pointers to free tutorials, and advice on the best applications a regular part of the editorial content here at OStatic. These have included screenshot-driven guided tours to how to use top tier OSS applications, pointers to free tutorials on everything from AJAX to OpenOffice, and guidance on finding free open source webinars on topics such as MySQL and Ubuntu. We're in the process of putting up a dedicated repository for all of these, but in the meantime, here are 12 of our most popular educational roundup posts.

Webinars and webcasts on all kinds of technology topics have exploded in recent years, and the good news is lots of the best ones are free. All you need is a browser to attend them, and most of them stay archived online for long periods of time. For open sourcers, there are both ongoing webcasts on cutting-edge open source topics that you can attend on a regular basis, and previously produced ones that may be of interest. Here is a collection of both upcoming and archived ones that could be of interest to you.
