CubeSpace is a co-working site in Portland, Oregon and we have a proprietary database built in Ruby on Rails. We are meeting with out developer on Wednesday to make sure there are no CubeSpace security issues in sharing what we have, but assuming he gives us a thumbs-up, we will be happy to share it with this group.
We designed it to track reservation and usages, as well as to serve as our point-of-sale interface. I will warn you it is buggy and temperamental and clearly needs more work, but the relational database structure is sound. We are eager to see what you all can do with it! -Eva Eva Sari Schweber Chief Cat Herder CubeSpace, Your WorkSpace Community 622 SE Grand Avenue Portland, OR 97214 (503) 206-3299 Voice (503) 206-3302 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email www.CubeSpacePDX.com On Mar 26, 10:19 am, "Samuel Rose" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Louis, I also plugged in a tool under "New Tool proposal" that some > coworkers may be interested in: an open source application to handle > money pooling, revenue sharing, expensetracking, and revenue sharetracking. > Feel free to remove of course if this is out of place, but I > thought coworkers might find the functions of such an application > useful. > > On Mar 25, 9:20 pm, "Louis Montagne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Tara, > > to follow up on the discussions we had in Austin, I've created the > > pagehttps://coworking.pbwiki.com/CoworkingTools.
