Hi all, R-Knowsys Technologies is launching a few FOSS projects and invites people to contribute as they see fit (all our projs are GPLed): Please mail me if you want details. Also mail on how you wish to be involved.
1. Collaborative applications in RoR. This project is in Beta stage, we have released the complete source code under GPL v2. http://rubyforge.org/projects/ideaxchange/ This is completely in RoR and has some nifty features. Please download and try this out - feedback is very welcome. Documentation is included in the downloadable sources. There is a roadmap included in the product. Please report bugs, suggestions for improvement, patches etc. We are working on making a good UI. www.cgalive.com has generously consented to design a professional quality UI(HTML/css) for free. This product will be production ready by this month end. You should be able to use it in your organisations by this month end. (Actually we have tested it and it doesn't have too many bugs but we want to put in some features and integrate LDAP/ADS authentication.) 2. VOIP plugin for firefox - http://sourceforge.net/projects/fvoip - Just registered the site. (GPL-v2) We are debating on the development language. We are considering C, C++ as well as JAVA. We will be doing some analysis before deciding on this. Once we have decided on what language(s) to develop it on, we will kick it off. Your thoughts are welcome. Please try to elaborate on the reasons for your suggestion of language/platform. 3. Linux distro purely aimed as a communication server. This will include email, IM, VOIP/Asterisk, VideoConferencing + some groupware features. All of them will be installed and configured at system install time. This will be Fedora/CentOS based. Idea is to have a distro which will be a dedicated for communication server in any organisation. We are considering including virtualisation in this but not sure when. This is still in planning stage. We will be launching a couple of more projects once these gain momentum. We will focus mainly on web apps/communication/collaborative applications. Projects under consideration: 1. Web enabled office suite: Like google-docs but with workflow, versioning, security, data encryption and integrated real time communication like IM, VOIP and email. 2. GNU/Linux based digital signage product. This product is in alpha and we will be releasing the sources under GPL v2 this month. We have come a long way from when we started the firm and we will be updating our web-site soon. regs, kc K. C.
