Sibolsoft announces their new project, called as “myDbase” (inspired by mysql with its DBMS capability). Sibolsoft encourage the local programmers (here in Baliuag) to participate/join to this Open-Source/Open Structure Project. Sibolsoft aims to developed a web-based application that can be run on localhost, that will help the user to design their own business program. Normally a desktop application usually offers their own standard design for a specific program, that makes it difficult for the user’s to apply their own business system. The lack of availability of a program routine that will suit the needs of the user is the most common problem that they encounter. Most of the program routines that you will find on “proprietary” software are highly technical which makes it very confusing for the user to comprehend. To overcome this problem, large-scale companies provide funds for the development and customization of the software that they are going to use for their own system. Unfortunately, Only large- scale business companies can afford to provide funding on their own software unlike with the small and medium-scale businesses that will rely on the availability of the software within the market.
Facing these problems, Sibolsoft comes up with the idea of creating application softwares that will allow the user to design/create their own business program from the way they want. Hoping for its rapid development, Sibolsoft decided to make “myDbase” as an “Open-Source” project, which means that the source-code of the program can be freely distributed to others. In effect, different programmers can study and modify the program to achieve a stable program. The goal for this project is to encourage developers to developed programs that will benefit the local community.
MyDbase was the pilot project of Sibolsoft with an Open Source principle, and hopefully the upcoming and existing projects will follow through. Carrying the open source principles.
