Small Project Using Open Source/Linux Software! How Far for OSS Novice Can Go??

Hi,

I have a small thought of an idea to commercialize some portion of my home land, wether it materialize or not; I'm planning to use all sort of OSS available that I could find and think off.

This is a small project and I always fascinated with OSS advancement in engineering field. This is just sharing my fascination and testing the capability of OSS in assisting engineers at "work". Hope you all enjoy!!!

The project would be a two storey building; the ground floor will have 2 grille doors  for rent and the upstairs is for homestay.

So, from my views the required and existing OSS that can be use for the project are as follows:-

  • Firefox - well, to update the blog for the project progress
  • Ubuntu - for the OS
  • Libreoffice - for the documentation and budgetting
  • LibreCad - for the layout
  • Draftsight - for the layout
  • FreeCAD - 3D CAD
  • Openproject - Project Management Tools
That's it for now; I'll be updating other requirements afterwards if needed.

Let's start the engine.
