From: "Philip Sargent (muscogee)" Long-standing Expo policy is to retain absolute control of all software and all data. So we use FOSS software and we store data in text files not in a database. You can use other software on your own machine if it is format-compatible and exports data in the formats we want, but all the recommended software here is open source and please don't install proprietary software on the 'expo laptop'.
