[PLUG] Possible presos

[JP Vossen via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

If there is any interest I could write one or all of these for North 
and/or West.  Not sure about ETA though.

1. Redmine (is awesome; and I'd mostly do interactive demos)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmine
	"Redmine is a free and open source, web-based project management and 
issue tracking tool. It allows users to manage multiple projects and 
associated subprojects. It features per project wikis and forums, time 
tracking, and flexible, role-based access control. It includes a 
calendar and Gantt charts to aid visual representation of projects and 
their deadlines. Redmine integrates with various version control systems 
and includes a repository browser and diff viewer."

IMHO the Redmine UI is a million times better than Jira & Confluence. 
Redmine is also a million times cheaper and easier to build and maintain.


2. Elastic Stack (is cheaper than Splunk, but has lots more moving parts 
and is trickier, and it's Java)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_stack
Search (Lucene) + Web GUI (Kibana) + Agent/pre-parsers (Logstash & "Beats")

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graylog which is Elastic Search 
(but not Kibana) under the covers.

Keith, _Learning Elastic Stack 6.0_ is quite good.  I normally do *not* 
like Packt books, but I'll make an exception for this one.


3. I guess I could do one on Graylog, now that I think about it.  It's 
cheaper than Splunk but less of a PITA than Elastic.  It's still Java 
though.  Needs more thought, maybe there's a combo ES/Graylog...


My preference is Redmine, I *really* like it.  But...
