To have more presentations done in one day, current plans are for concurrent presentations of open source related issues. There would be two "tracks" - one set of presentations in one area (Room A) geared towards begineers/persons who never head of open source or Linux and one set of presentations in another area (Room B) geared towards persons more familiar with computers. Presentations are from 10am to 5pm. These planned presentations are timed, with slides, prepared script with Q & A sessions after. We will have practice sessions with these sessions to work before SFD itself. Presentations should be recorded for future viewing.
With SFD 2008 being held in the Old Fire Station, Room A could be the room on the 2nd floor and Room B is on the ground floor.
If you can assist with one of these presentations, let us know via admin at ttcsweb.org (or modify this page to add your name, and what topic you would be able to present on)

From the inception of the computer industry technology has been used to monitor and track organizational processes. This led to the rise of a class of software called ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems. These systems assist in running the operations of global multinational corporations and they can cost up to millions of dollars to implement.
The rise of open source ERP systems such as Compiere, Openbravo and Openerp are changing the dynamics of the industry and now organizations of all sizes can access the capabilities that only large corporations could previously afford. We will look at what makes up an ERP system; What challenges it is meant to solve; And we will look at the Openerp ERP program in detail.
