@scottalanmiller Thanks for your support, and I saw video and I think it's immeasurable topic for me :p

More videos coming from MangoCon, as well.

@dashrender Off the top of my head, it's a sheet of expenses, mileage, taxes, and income.

aww, ok so just one excel file with 4 sheets.. cool.

@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 ?

@dashrender said in Why Free Open Source Software Is Cheaper Than You Think:

Well I have downloaded Inkscape but haven't had occasion to use it much.

If you have other graphics programs to recommend I'm all ears.

Personally I really like the Corel products, they seem much more straight forward to use than PS. So I'm definitely not stuck on the PS side of things.
I'm definitely a causal user

I prefer Inkscape if I can do it. Vector is so much easier to work with than raster.

Inkscape is awesome. Loads of professional work is done in that.

Hope they will keep the pace

Loving the Marvin Gaye reference in the title.

Cost is an issue? Assuming you got hosted SharePoint only I think it's $4/u/m...

Tiny capacity, though.

1 TB per user?

That's ODfB. The Sharepoint storage proper is like 100MB.

OMG, that's near useless!

It's only for documents. Goes a long way when used as intended.

Used as intended? That's a joke, right? Storing large PDFs should be a part of the intention. DWG files can be huge.

@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!

@coliver said in Azure AD Open Source Alternative:

@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" :)

@jmoore said in Open Source LAMP Web Hosting Panels:

It does not seem easier to me. Could just be me though.

It's often not just more steps, but more complex too!

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.

@John-Nicholson said in What Avaya Has to Teach Us About Closed Source:

@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.

Did you guys miss where our Zimbra is hosted?

Nice! Any idea how this compares with Resolve? https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve

No idea, haven't used Resolve.
