I want to know the functioning and management of a open source software
development.
Is it possible to host, sponsor and co-ordinate software development
project?
The idea is to invite part of industry to contribute to this development.
Case:
AutoCAD - its core tool for civil engineering consultancy firms and their
industry.
Legal deployment costs a lot. i.e Hardware+Windows+Security+basic
utilities+ACAD
There is cost for upgrades, every 5 years. Software companies expect
upgrades in 2 years.
India is becoming IT leader and Software Legal issues are showing up
Is it feasible to setup an organization for developing usable open CAD for
Mumbai/India based
civil engineers? and provide training for the use of CAD
While discussing FOSS alternatives I raised this possibility and certain
civil engineers/CAD users are interested, Civil engineering Associations are
approachable.
