I'm trying to see if there's interest in a small business oriented SIG.
There are already small business distros based on Centos, and perhaps those groups may also want to participate in a SIG. There are certain issues related to small office servers that I believe deserve to be addressed in a community setting. For instance:
- Easy backup, archive, & offsite mirroring. - Something
that is always problematic for every small business I know regardless of server technology.
- Security issues specifically related to small business.
2.5: Single Sign On e.g. (Samba domain controller or AD integration)
- Smooth updating. Trying to make the transition from one major
release to the next as easy as possible.
- Plugable/scalable vertical market application architecture. For
instance making the platform hospitable to vertical applications like accounting systems in which the end user doesn't have to spend weeks setting up hosting stacks.
Easy user account management, perms setup, etc.
Interoperability, easy scalability with cloud systems.
For instance explore ideas like having cloud based file server backup that can also be used as live system in case of local failure.
Just some ideas, but anyway if anybody's interested, please let me know.
Consider this an interest.
