    Does anyone have any input they can provide on utilizing the open source PLM tool ARAS? (www.aras.com)

    I'm specifically looking for input from designers/engineers/IT professionals that have used it in their workplace and can comment on it's viability for OSE in terms of controlling the CAD data, creating a CAD repository and web based feedback channels for design improvements/changes.

    Thanks!
    - Mike

    Just looked at the demo and website and it sure looks promising. As of now I dont see a clear depository where all the projects are located. Some data and information can be found on the wiki but most is still vague. I think indeed that one location where everything is stored and can be connected to would be the best solution. As for now as I am moving from place to place I cannot host any proper depository. A down side for this piece of software can be that it uses windows server and not linux as this is the more common part or did I miss something? 

    As I cannot help in the real building part I sure can help in finding better IT solutions and development methods. Maybe it is wise to setup a team for anything Web/IT/Design related parts for the OSE?

    Yes Xienixs, that was the issue with ARAS right now as we don't have access to a windows server. We COULD pay for one, but without trialing it first it would be a waste of money. If anyone out there reading this has a windows server that could load up the software on as a temporary trial that would be greatly appreciated.

    Just stumbled across this one: http://www.graebert.com/en/cad/ares/99

    still looking into it but this might be an issue:

    convert the downloaded trial into a licensed full version for 795,00 € (plus VAT). For USD pricing please contact our order desk directly.

    Maybe they can sponsor us?
