At that time in H= ungary mostly was used computers with Intel 386 processor and Novell 3.1 op= eration system. Due to informatics development there was made a lot of new = programs. I found a problem with them. For each task we used other standalo= ne program, in most cases made by totally different supplier/programmer. Th= e bottleneck of such kind of way of working is that each program needs to b= e updated with the same data. This means waste of energy. Then came up an i= dea, why we do not use only one system for all tasks, which can be done by = computer within a company? At my next workplace found the same situation. While this company was multi= national company the decision about each important issue came from abroad. = Here we used more different operating systems than before (Windows 3.1, Nov= ell, AS/400). In my existing workplace (started at 2nd of February 1998) the so called "d= iffusion" had been grown, against that we use more ERP & CRM systems like B= aan, SAP, etc. Fortunately between these systems a lot of interfaces were b= uilt to share data (via automatic ftp jobs). After introducing the structur= e of the informatics's system I found that we use these systems only partly= . This shows for me that these systems can not fulfil fundamental (all) req= uirements of a normal company. After more than 4 yearly preparation and collection of experiences I decide= d to start to build an own ERP & CRM system which applies the existing know= ledge of mine and volunteer's who joins to this idea. Mine main philosophy is that the computer should serve people and not oppos= ite (as works nowadays). Meaning the name of the project: The name has no definite meaning. At my workplace I work together with a co= lleague. When I discussed with him about this idea, he thought there is som= ething in it too. We started to plan it. While we are already on way we nee= d to call the project somehow. After some thinking and intuition the name w= as found: TAKAS. This is coming from two slices: "TAK" and "AS". Both are c= oming from our names (TAKacs, ASboth). Purpose of the project: The project has the following purposes:=20 * Build only one new - homogeneous - computer system, which helps operate t= o maintain data of the company. * Create a framework where possible to find and realise a solution on an ea= sier, faster way. Advantages: * Robust, fast, easy to use * Clasps all tasks of informatics of an arbitrary big organisation * Decreases time of maladministration * Increases the level of services within and between companies * Much less bug possibilities (no any interfaces necessary) * Each data needs to enter once and at the point of origin only (efficiency= , more disengagedness) * The user works in unitary surface (less learning time) * Economical solution, while it can be modified easily The project would like to reach: all data, which can be handled via compute= rs, should be handled in this system only. That means integrate all tasks i= n computer into this program (beside normal direction of the company the sy= stem should handle the e-mails, fax, personal tasks, contacts, etc. too). Philosophy of the project: >From company's management point of view the purpose to use this system can = be to build an effective, economical organisation with it. A system is good= when the user can faster and easier use it. Other important issue is the cost of the programs. There are big difference= s between people about. Most of the managers think that programs bought fro= m software companies shares the responsibility of use. The consequence of t= his kind of thinking is higher cost. There are a lot of programs which costs very little or nothing (called shar= eware, freeware or open source programs). My experience shows that program = of both categories work fine. At the beginning of the project should be decided which category this syste= m will join. We already discussed about. It can be evident that experts can= be found with charge only. My opinion (was and) is now that it can be foun= d good people who join to the project in behalf of creation and psychologic= al appreciation only. On other hand I am sure that later on we will get bac= k our efforts in material form too. This means that this project will be on the open source category. Certainly= before the real implementation we have to find the concord how can the pro= ject continue to exist and fluent grow. This philosophy brought already big result according to many projects on th= e Internet where a lot of experts are participated. There is other point of view. The project has a purpose to help people to g= row and develop themselves too. New ideas, proposals change the world into = a better way as we go now. I think this issue will be much more concrete la= ter on. Backgrounds: To be successful with this project it has to have very good background. Sho= uld be defined which operating system, graphical interface, programming lan= guage and database is the best for this project. Operating system: Beside Windows there are a lot of other operating system. Although there ar= e a lot of good things in it, I think for us better to choose FreeBSD, beca= use it is organised by a "core-team", works robustly, grows dynamically and= well documented. Programming language: In this area we can find a lot of them starting from the low level to high = level languages. My opinion is that we need a high level programming langua= ge for this project. After a long search on Internet I found Python program= ming language. This language takes into account best the object-oriented ph= ilosophy. The advantage of Python is that can be used as low level and high= level operation too. There are a lot of packages to it, which are very use= ful to create arbitrary program. The possibility to use it on mostly used o= perating systems is a very good aspect too. Graphical interface: We need a graphical interface too, while to my opinion a reliable system in= our world should work with it. There are more interfaces to Python too, I = think for us the wxPython is the best choice. Database manager: This point is the most important for such a big system. There is 2 differen= t type of database managers: relational and object-oriented. In the past I = introduced relational databases only. After knowing Python I found Zope Obj= ect DataBase (ZODB). The main advantage of it that it was written in Python= . There is an "extension" for it Zope Enterprise Objects (ZEO) which provid= es to connect to ZODB via network. My existing experience about ZEO that it= is not ready for handling more than 1 database in same time (I hope maybe = this project gives the chance to go further in this way). The above mentioned backgrounds are the fundamentals of the project. Certai= nly each idea, which can help to make better solutions, is welcome. I know = that there are a lot of experts who knows much more about these and other c= omponents than I. This is the reason why I would like to ask anybody to joi= n to the project. Introdution of the actor: I would like to introduce myself too. My name is L=E1szl=F3 Asb=F3th. I am = 38 years old. I have 2 children (my daughter D=F3ra 13, my son =C1d=E1m 7).= I live in Hungary, at 5 Kiss J. str, in S=E1rv=E1r. My professions are lan= d surveyor, computer programmer and preventive parapsychologist. My existing workplace is in Szombathely, called Phycomp Hungary Kft. I work= as a program engineer. My first impression about computers started when the first IBM AT computers= came to Matav Rt (the biggest telecommunication's company of Hungary). I d= id not know the command "dir" yet. I started to play with it, because it wa= s very interesting. After some months I learned a lot about DOS, and starte= d to make a program in Basic language. This was a "TOTO" program. Although = we won some money on the second week we could not make a fortune. My boss s= howed my interest for computers he assigned me to a new post. Then I starte= d to learn programming, which I ended in 1993. I learned more computer lang= uages (Clipper, Pascal, C). On my existing workplace in 1998 met with the U= nix operating system and Baan ERP system. I learned to program in Baan as a= utodidact. Last year I started seriously search for components to the project.=20 In my spare time I am interested in self-development. I use and teach some = methods in this area. Invitation: When you think this project has something for you, or you have interest to = join, please contact me. When you can give some advises only they are welco= me too. Thank you very much for reading this introduction (excuse me for my english= ). In S=E1rv=E1r, on 19th of august, 2002. L=E1szl=F3 Asb=F3th --=_mixed 00390300C1256C20_=--
