OSS @ CCIM
In an end of the year reflection, I looked back over the ‘05 project list and noted that while we spent most of our money on commercial, closed source systems (including a certain company in Redmond, Wa), we have done a lot of interesting and useful stuff with open source software.
CCIM’s current OSS-based implemenations and projects incude:
- A front-end MX email system using Fedora Core Linux, Sendmail, MySQL, SpamAssassin, spamass-milter, ClamAV, and Milter-Greylist.
- Mailing list support for chapters and the Institute using Mailman.
- A tracking system for IT using Trac.
- Common calendaring for the leadership team with WebCalendar.
- An internal documentation system using MediaWiki.
- Forums to facilitate CCIMs reaching out to each other in response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita using PHPbb.
- A systems monitor using Nagios.
- Numerous web applications using the LAMP stack: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
- The main CCIM website, running on Redhat Linux using Java and Orion.
- Website usage reports from AWStats.
- And, of course, WordPress for this blog.
