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?"

    can i beat the shit out of you with my virtual fists for making such a horrible joke?

    Virtual fists is probably the only thing you're capable of bringing to a fight, tool. Someone on /. actually threatening physical violence? Yeah, right. You'll only be on the receiving end, beeyotch.

    Only a few are familiar with that phone number...most haven't even had the 'honor' of getting the rejection phone number...they usually wet themselves and hide in a corner whenever a member of the opposite sex is present. To actually ask them for their number?!? This is uncharted territory for the average /.er

    Design an Open Source office.... It would look a lot like MS Office.. You know, Open Source geeks like to diss MS Office. But ask your self, why is it so popular? Not because MS has a monopoly, it's because it is very good and very useful. MS Office is a very tight and nice application. Why do you think Open Office trys to mirror it?

    You know, it's pathetic and funny at the same time to see you so worried about six fucking mod points. On Slashdot.

    How dare the OP mention his product "for windoze". I mean, let's punish him by... modding him down.

    Nothing to do on a Friday night, eh? I'm surprised.
