Open Source - Vertical Applications

[Neetan Chopra <ne...@gmail.com>]

Hi there

This is Neetan. I am a Group CTO working in Dubai.
Having worked in the Airline industry for 23 years (with Emirates) I have
been thinking about open sourcing one of the core aviation applications.
However there does not seem to be any example of a vertical OSS
application which has made an impact.

I just wanted to reach out to you to seek your advice on how the journey
with ofbiz has been and the lessons learnt for other open source enterprise
software endeavours.
Thank you and would be most grateful for any advice you can offer.

warm regards
Neetan Chopra

Hi Neetan,

Your message has been moderated, else it would not have reached this Mailing List.

Please subscribe to the user ML for such questions and then use your email client.
See why here http://ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html.

You will get a better support, people can answer you on the ML.
The wider the audience the better the answers you might get.

Also it's more work for moderators who have to accept your messages as long as you have not subscribed.
I'll personally no longer accept them (other moderators still could).

Thanks

Hi Neetan,

To second Nicolas, I know that a GB freight company built his application on OFBiz in 2010+

Hello Neetan,

I move your thread to user list (it's not related to the community dev)

With the OFBiz data model you can implement without major problem for
journey business with major entites like WorkEffort, FixedAsset and Party.

The better tips that I can shared, put massively your code and extension
on dedicate plugins. Do not fear to implement your own screen with your
business rule.
