Hi :) Are you interested in joining in with a small team to try to get more activity developing in Base? I have no idea how to set-up a team. There seems to be quite a few supporters such as RedHat, Google, Canonical, Novell even Apache that might benefit from helping Base achieving something closer to it's potential. There also seems to be various other projects, such as back-ends, that might be able to spare some developers time in order to help get their product used more widely.
So far a couple of people have seemed interested but they got straight into learning how to code rather than doing marketing/promoting type of work. I have no expertise in promoting either but hoped to get a few people together to help push Base forwards. Any ideas? Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Brian Grawburg <grawb...@myglnc.com> To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Sun, 7 August, 2011 16:26:33 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] New user to BASE I agree with Roland. When I used to work for a local analytical laboratory I wrote a very large application that tracks incoming samples, customers, and related data. They used it for almost 9 years until last October when they decided to implement a LIMS (laboratory information management system) - and spent many thousands of dollars. Three months ago they dumped the LIMS and returned to my program. I'd be glad to give you any help if you decide to try it.
