After Hours Workshops
Development of software for enterprises with GNOME
Several projects have been started in the last years with the
common goal of providing the enterprises with free(dom)
business management software built on top of GTK+ and
other libraries from the core of GNOME. There are different
approaches for developing that kind of vertical, dataoriented
software, but all of them could share some kind of
efforts, extending and adapting GNOME to the requirements
they have. In this BoF, people involved or interested in the
development of business software will meet and discuss
how to share efforts and experiences and how to make
GNOME better (also) for the enterprise.
