Hello, In the second time at my college that I'm going to show that while it custom that enterprises use closed software, Using opensource solution not only can cost less or the same but the maintenance will cost much less.
Last time when I showed that TAU and Technoin used open source I was told that they are going to loose it (don't know how much of it is true).And since I didn't contacted the facilities I was caught off guard. It was after we was obilgated to sed(*) the websites to use them using firefox/konqueror/opera etc.. (vbs on client side/ broken js etc). This time it is after usage of streaming product (streamitup.com) that dosn't work in FF/Konqueror/opera/chrome on Linux (there is a plugin for chrome on windows). While it relatively easy again to un obocuse the code: Something around the 2-3 hours of work to get all the settings and the logic the website uses, And then write some greasemonkey script /perl solution / add some functions to Mazarim. The issue is that I wish to get the product I'm paying for without doing pro-bono work for the firm. What I have in my list (and already contact the developers/admins) is : Linmagazine Whatsup CppCMS could you spare some more examples of IL based websites (or sites that have IL customers) ? (*) - Since the websites was written so good, we wrote several solutions greasemonkey , perl based parser and aggregator (fix the common errors that they did).basically just one big sed script .. (**) - The code on streamitup server is obfocused (***) - http://www.streamitup.com/SystemRequirments.html
