Open Source Financial Accounting

Tony,

It was great to meet you guys at Splash the other day - I trust it was well worth all of your efforts to bring everyone up from Canberra.

I'd be very interested in your thoughts about BastionLedger, our sophisticated GL/order management/payroll/shareholders registry/asset register, forecasting, job quoting open source application.  The project page is at:

http://www.last-bastion.net/forge/bastionledger

There is an online demo (hopefully it's not too borked - I've not looked at it for a while):

This is actually a Linux-core project.  There's BastionLedgerPro - the commercial edition with cool flash graphs and charts, and integrated BastionMeeting, BastionCurrencyTool (for real-time FX), BastionCallCentre for practice management and lots more.  Outside of that, there's things like BastionLedgerPro-au with Australian-jurisdiction tables and software etc etc.

I'm more than happy to spend some time talking about it if it really interests you - and if you really want to kick it's tyres over I am happy to give you a login on http://linux.last-bastion.net/LBN/up2date/bastionledger and it's a one-click download to setup/install a local Zope/Plone server with the necessary BastionLedger stack on a VM/physical server of your choosing.

Best regards,

Alan
