Hello,<br><br>Equitable Tourism Options (EQUATIONS) is a research, campaign
and advocacy organisation based in Bengaluru. We study social, cultural,
economic and environmental impacts of tourism on local
communities. We are registered as a non-profit Society under
the Karnataka Societies Registration Act of 1960.<br>
<br>
We are committed to Free and Open Source Software, and recently moved more than 90% of our active workstations to
Ubuntu from a proprietary platform. <br>
<br>
Given our small team size, one of the key areas of our work is
to be able to build networks - with individuals, groups,
organisations and institutions. As a result, we have a
database of many contacts - currently in the range of 3000,
and growing steadily all the time. We are looking for a
user-friendly and easy-to-use way of entering, categorising,
maintaining and retrieving this data, based on simple
(sometimes advanced) search criteria. A few features we would
like to have would include - <br>
<br>
1. A "mail merge" type functionality of email addresses (for
sending out information, newsletters etc.)<br>
2. Printing out address labels<br>
3. Creating reports based on criteria.<br>
<br>
We are looking for technical help / advice / suggestions on
finding and implementing a solution. Given our budget constraints, we are looking for volunteers to help us out.<br>
<br>
The requirement is pretty urgent. If someone's interested in
helping, or in knowing more, please contact Rajiv on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:techsupport@equitabletourism.org">techsupport@equitabletourism.org</a><br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
