Dear Satheesh There are lots of open source ERP solution providers Some of them are Adempiere OpenBravo OpenERP , etc I personally know organizations which have implemented Open Source ERP with support. I am sure the companies listed above will be able to give you time schedule and support I thought I will start a new thread since my reply is not exactly related to the previous thread

I appreciate he revealed exact possiton of FOSS adn Linux User Group Even my company needs ERP package for their use. Fist we sought out the help of linux programmers. None can give us any guarantee on time schedule and future support and at last we end-up buying proprietary software. somebody has to take initiative and dedication to build a software firm with some credibility otherwise it will be difficut to get support/orders from corporate houses.

But did not see anyone taking any interest in it.

But , Let us ponder a bit deeper Is there any company exists in Kerala who can do a project of this magnitude using FOSS tools ? Only a deep pocketed company can bid for this and I doubt , any FOSS based company in kerala ( for that matter , India and probably in the whole world ) is in a position to do this. Maximum strength I have seen is under Hundred. ( I am counting on LAMP stack companies here. I do not know of any company worth mentioning which specializes in Free Software alone . Most companies use FOSS tools as a way to lessen the running cost ) Is there any way out ? Kerala Govt. Should spend hell lot of money to set up a Software company , Data center and related infrastructure to have a FOSS based billing software for KSEB. But, When Govt. can get the work done through Compettitive billing , what is the point in taking that head ache. I do not think , any sane govt. will do it. Can community help ? I have noticed a curious pattern in FOSS community in Kerala. Most of them are System adminstrators specializing in GNU Linux tools. If there are software professionals , they are freelancers who look for opportunistic work ! ( Most of them are too lazy to work in a team environment and on top of it , poor communicators too ) For Enterprise Software , Java or the .NET is the obvious choice . So , only a company which specializes in it can build such a software. Let us throw out .NET out of the equation. I have seen FOSS enthusiast , I have seen Java Enthusiast , I have not seen much FOSS JAVA enthusiasts! So , FOSS community cannot do anything here. Let the proprietory people take the initiative or let the status quo remain untill , we build a community of programmers or some deep pocketed companies do this . Here talk about Freedom , Licensing and other petty issues do not take us forward. regards Praseed Pai http://praseedp.blogspot.com --- On Sat, 11/6/10, Ranjith S <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ranjith S <[email protected]> Subject: [ILUG-Cochin.org] Fwd: Another Attack to Free Software To: "This List discusses GNU/Linux & GNU, GPL Software" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: Saturday, November 6, 2010, 6:15 AM Regards Ranjith Siji Walking Ants Technologies http://www.walkingants.com http://ranjith.zfs.in ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ranjith S <[email protected]> Date: 2010/11/6 Subject: Another Attack to Free Software To: [email protected] http://www.mathrubhumi.com/online/malayalam/news/story/604099/2010-11-06/kerala Kerala News - ബില്ലിങ് കമ്പ്യൂട്ടര്വത്കരണം: സ്വതന്ത്ര സോഫ്റ്റ്വെയറിനെതിരെ കെ.എസ്.ഇ.ബി എന്ജിനിയര് സംഘടന - India, World News - Mathrubhumi Newspaper Edition Mathrubhumi,Malayalam Newspaper Edition Online,Kerala News - ബില്ലിങ് കമ്പ്യൂട്ടര്വത്കരണം: സ്വതന്ത്ര സോഫ്റ്റ്വെയറിനെതിരെ കെ.എസ്.ഇ.ബി എന്ജിനിയര് സംഘടന - India, World News Regards Ranjith Siji Walking Ants Technologies http://www.walkingants.com http://ranjith.zfs.in -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected] _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected] -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
