New page

There's a lot of open source software available for helping a place like Free Geek run. Here are the choices we made:

==Off the shelf software choices==

===Base Distribution===
Our choice of linux distribution is Debian for internal use. For distribution, we've gone with Ubuntu.

===Wiki===
A wiki is used to develop documents collaboratively. We've chosen [MediaWiki:MediaWiki|] as our official wiki.

===Issue Tracker===
An issue tracker helps you keep track of items that need to be followed up on, like a big community todo list. We use [http://bestpractical.com/rt RT] for this. It helps us run tech support, keep track of grants, and even assists us in planning some of our meetings agendas.

===Email List software===
This allows us to set up discussion lists for various purposes. In general, each committee or working group has at least one email list. We use [http://mailman.org Mailman].

===E-mail===
We give people email accounts and let them use Squirrelmail to access them.
An IMAP allows us to offer this server. We use Courier
Our SMTP server is [http://postfix.org Postfix].

===Web server===
To serve up our web pages, we use [http://apache.org Apache HTTP server].

===Database server===
To manage most of our database needs we use [http://postgresql.org PostgreSQL]. Some other applications (like Mediawiki) use [http://mysql.org MySQL], so that's installed as well.

==Custom software==

===General Database===
[[FGdb]] -- The database we use for maintaining gizmo inventory, contact information, volunteer work, and sales and donation receipts. Written in [http://www.rubyonrails.org/ ruby on rails] against a PostgreSQL database backend.

===Hardware Testing===
'''???'''

===End User Distro===
[[FreekBox]] -- The distro of choice for giving away (or selling) is [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu / Hardy Heron].)

	There's a lot of open source software available for helping a place like Free Geek run. Here is some software we use and could conceivably offer to a new Free Geek startup to help them get off the ground.
