?I would agree that Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is a natural
fit with a Makerspace !

?I'd at least consider bidding on support, but suspect ERP deploy requires
specialist expertise or a lot of trial-and-error !

?Are you looking for OpenERP aka ODOO <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odoo>
in particular, or ?anything FLOSS with ERM/CRM, or is the focus on Resource
Planning to schedule machine time ?

?Eric Chadbourne <cc:> on this mailing list has a project
http://nonprofit-crm.org? . I did a first-look code audit for Eric, it's
pretty decent looking. If that's all you need, there are two of us locally
so no SPOF.

?For OpenERM <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openerm/> I suspect one of
the consultants on Boston.pm could help, I can poll them if you're
interested.?
