@mike-davis said in Open Source Property Management:

I'm not sure if your goal is to track warranties of things installed, or track expenses and the financial side of it. (or both) Have you talked to your accountant? My accountant told me what they wanted to see, and it amounts to about 4 spread sheets. All of my other documentation goes in to some google doc folders.

4 spread sheets? is that 4 different single things? or 4 sheets of things, and what makes the break from one sheet to the next?

@scottalanmiller said in Odoo vs ERPNext and Which linux more suitable (Ubuntu/CentOS) ?:

Fedora is better for active IT departments that maintain their systems. CentOS is better for companies that deploy and never maintain their systems and just hope for the best ;)

I just wonder your statement here on CentOS, while I have seen you always praise CentOS than Ubuntu. Is that praise just about CentOS vs Ubuntu ?

So your whole interest on Fedora is because it have Latest things and faster development ?

Good video. Possibly another video idea, if you want to get into it, is a break down on how you make the decision on what operating system or software to use and how to run the numbers. I hear that a lot and I personally would not know how to do this reliably. Maybe others would not either .

Hope they will keep the pace

@DustinB3403 looks interesting, but not something I have had to look into before.

@scottalanmiller Done :)

Didn't @art_of_shred recently get a Cameyo?

I don't know about recently :P

Maybe at MangoCon it can make a Cameyo appearance!

@StrongBad said in Azure AD Open Source Alternative:

Samba 4 does what AD does, for free. But I'm not aware of anything that does what Azure AD does using open source software that you can host yourself. Does anyone know if something exists?

I guess what are you looking for? Azure AD is basically hosted AD with some limitations as to client management.

It's a totally different technology. Azure AD is a competitor with hosted AD. It's not AD in any way. Very different technologies. One is a LAN design and one is LANless as well.

The one thing I still haven't been able to figure out just yet is how to create task dependancies so that setting one task's start time is dependant on its predecessor. This would let me properly display the Gantt chart with timelines aligned with expected completion. I know I've seen something once about how to set it up but I couldn't get it figured out and haven't had much time to get back to it.

That's disappointing..

"just in time" :)

@scottalanmiller If that's so, check out AMPPS http://www.ampps.com/LAMP
It will install the common LAMP stack with a few extra goodies, but includes Softaculous app installer for free.
If you want a server to act as more a "deploy apps on the fly" server, this might be a good option.
Sometimes if I want to test something on Wordpress or try any app they have, I can just go in and install with a few clicks, do my thing, and then destroy the app after.

But if all you want is an app launcher, you might even do this on the cheap, or free, on Google Cloud with their Launcher tool. https://cloud.google.com/launcher/

Screenly OSE really seems like what we need. The fact that we don't have to spend a ton of money on hardware is a plus in my opinion.

@scottalanmiller Well, not as many experts as for SAP, but you find some :-)
Tryton is a fork of openERP (nowadays called odoo) and runs for itself as ERP in many companies around the world. Their website is a PITA, agree. A Web-Frontend is available as well.
@stacksofplates Lots has happened since 2012....

Oh, good info. That makes it make a lot more sense. Thanks.

@IRJ awesome

Of course, Brazil lacks enforcement. But so does the US. Go to Chinatown in NYC and you'll see cops walking leisurely by giant DVD pirate shops that are openly and publicly pirating and selling movies. The cops literally look the other way. It's a thriving business in the US, just like you hear about the streets of any third world country. Zero efforts to stop piracy. It's so bad they don't even have to pretend it's not pirated or not doing it in plain site. Biggest city in the country, tables selling pirated goods right on the road side.

@Reid-Cooper said in Open source Firewall:

pfSense was really good in the past. But I agree, the days of building your own firewall on an old PC that you have are over.

Right - the cost just isn't worth running your old PC. Power alone will cost more than the cost of an ER-X or ER-L.

@scottalanmiller said in What Avaya Has to Teach Us About Closed Source:

The issue now with Avaya is that we can no longer have confidence that they will be able to survive to continue to support their products. An investment like this in something like storage often requires a five to ten year confidence window, with a PBX this is generally more like ten to twenty years.

This isn't quite true. They filed Chapt 11, not 7.

I know, and Chap 11 is enough that you can't rely on the finances of a company. A company that people have been suspecting was going to be not financially viable for years.

Where is the bit of my posting that says that:

Hold on - where did @stacksofplates quote you saying this? I don't see that in his post.. He only said

Is he taking a jab at the product, for sure! at you? I don't think so.
