Re: [libreoffice-users] New user to BASE

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 :)

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.
