CubeSpace's POS system, which is customized for coworking, is on its way to becoming available as an open source solution. We have a couple of volunteers who are cleaning up the code, and making some tweaks, before we make it publicly available. They expect to further develop it with a group as part of the ruby code sprints they plan for this fall.
The application is a ruby on rails front end on a MySQL backend, running on Apache (I think). More to the point, it can either be hosted on a local machine, an internal server or the internet. It is already set up to run credit cards, run a cash drawer and receipt printer. It tracks who is using which cubicle or conference room, tracks usages, and accepts payments. It tracks recurring renewal dates (e.g., monthly, weekly, yearly). Again, it needs a little more work before we release it to the public, but we're almost there. --David David Kominsky CubeSpace [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Oct 2, 12:04 pm, "Mike Schinkel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all: > > This topic of management software has come up in other threads but I wanted > to proactively address it.
