Here is the situation. Someone that you know, your brother-in-law, your cousin, your minister, your ...., well some, wants to setup a back office computing operation for a small business, or an organization, or something. They know that you are a computer expert. They ask you what to do.

It has been mentioned that at the December meeting we could try to actually install and configure parts of this. It seems there may be far too many things in our 'Back Office' solution to install them during the meeting. If others think we should try and install some stuff in December, then maybe we can do that.

Free and Open Source Software(FOSS) Back Office Computing Solution.

Here is the situation. Someone that you know, your brother-in-law, your cousin, your minister, your ...., well some, wants to setup a back office computing operation for a small business, or an organization, or something. They know that you are a computer expert. They ask you what to do.

You, being completely committed to open software and not being quick enough to have hidden, want to respond with a complete solution. What do you do?

What functions might they need? What software should you install to meet those needs? Then how do you setup those software systems and how do you administer them? Don't worry about money. There is none. You will be using mostly hand-me-down hardware and only new store-bought-stuff if absolutly necessary and if the price is low.

An introduction to each of them with a chance for feedback, to get an idea of what our membership would like to hear more about at future meetings.

It has been mentioned that at the December meeting we could try to actually install and configure parts of this. It seems there may be far too many things in our 'Back Office' solution to install them during the meeting. If others think we should try and install some stuff in December, then maybe we can do that.

Please join us in this discussion and in October and November to do the specifications and in December for the Grand Finally.
