About Schedules Direct

Schedules Direct is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate the public about the benefits of Open Source Software and other free software, provide support functions for such software, and provide funding for research that facilitates the improvement or creation of Open Source Software and other free software for the benefit of the public at large.

To this end, one of the benefits of membership is access to television program guide listings for use in the Open Source and Freeware applications listed on our Approved Applications page. Our aim is to build upon the foundation that Tribune Media Services created with their now-unavailable Zap2it Labs service by licensing their DataDirect product and combining it with our own expertise in web services and database design to bring that information to a wider audience, which we hope will in turn lead to wider adoption and interest in Open Source and Freeware media applications.

Though we are incorporated as a non-profit and are in the process of applying for federal 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, no portion of our membership fee is tax deductible as a charitable contribution.
