Presentation:
Laz Davila will be talking about "Running a business - the Linux
Open Source way":
Can Linux and Open Source tools "run a business"?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
This talk presents the case study of Davtec, a local software
development and IT support business.
Davtec's "back-office" is made up of a collection of Linux servers -
with staff using windows workstations and a variety of proprietary
and open source tools.
This presentation will give a quick rundown of the tools used to run
the business (with interactive demonstrations of any tools of
interest):
- Samba / Openldap as the domain controller
- Qmail / Clam AV / Spamassassin / Squirrelmail - Complete
mail solution
- Asterisk / PHP PBX interface - VOIP telephony
- dotProject - Project Management
- Twiki - Knowledgebase and Quality Management System
- Sugar - Client Relationship Management solution
- Journyx - Timesheet system solution
- OpManager - Network monitoring solution
- SVN / WebSVN - Version Control
- Eventum - Issue tracking
Based on this, and on experiences setting up clients with Linux and
Windows servers, the presentation will offer a set of "lessons
learnt" - what works, what doesn't, and what we would do
differently.
Laz Davila is the director of Davtec, a small business he started
four years ago, which focuses on providing systems and software
engineering services, but also deals with IT solutions and support
for local businesses.
Since graduating in 1985 from Adelaide University, Laz has taken on
many roles in software development and IT, including: software
engineering; systems engineering; IT support and project management.
Through his career, Laz has "grown up" with Unix and many of its
variants, such as AT&T Sys V, BSD, SCO, Solaris, Minix and most
recently Linux. With a "hands on" attitude and an appreciation of
the elegance of Unix based operating systems, back in 2004 Laz
decided to underpin his new business with a "Linux based
back-office". His talk tonight presents lessons learnt from this
exercise, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of
introducing Linux into the business environment (where Microsoft is
still "king").
