Internet Rights Bulgaria Foundation (IRBF) will build an open source software solution for the case management needs of non-profit legal advice centres in Bulgaria. This will provide an alternative to restrictive proprietary software at present being used for this purpose. The project will also create the conditions for civil society organisations in Bulgaria to cooperate with each other and with similar organisations elsewhere through better communication and increased Internet visibility.

IBRF will also work with the Open Society Foundation Bulgaria on creating a version of the software to be used in the Bulgarian public defender’s office. Further, the software will be integrated into a Bulgarian Linux distribution by Interspace, a Bulgarian technology/media organization, who will also assist with the training and installation of the distribution and accompanying software at legal aid centres.
