Design a Virtual Office with Open Source?

Posted by Cliff on from the how-would-you-do-it dept.

apropos asks: "An interesting question came up recently when discussing (yet again) starting an open-source based consulting company: 'How would you design the ultimate virtual office with open source software?' With things like fax, VoIP, web, email, security and office suites all available as open source products, what kind of useful things could be done? One idea that came to mind was emailing answering machine recordings. What would you put into your ultimate virtual office solution?"

    I think I'd recommend a good secretary

    And a pretty one. Because no matter how well-coded the virtual sex in your virtual office, it can't hold a candle to bending a real secretary over your desk during the lunch hour.
