This page outlines some of the potential interfaces with other software packages and systems that could build functionality of what we're doing.

We would like to be able to connect with other services for many of the following functions. As a general rule, we will prioritise links with other open source projects. Where these don't exist (or don't yet provide sufficient functionality), we will build relationships with other useful and well-used services.

An important means of interacting with other services would be our API.

Profiles, Social Networking & Relationships

  • Login and 'info sharing' services: Facebook, Twitter, Google, Persona?, OpenID
  • Food system mapping and directory sites: Sustaination; Local Harvest; Dibble etc NB. As far as we know, there is not yet a FOSS option for food business mapping let us know if there is . .

Business Management

  • OpenERP*
  • Accounting Packages: Quickbooks; Xero; Saasu etc

Food Enterprise Systems

  • Bello Box*, Bucky Box, Ooooby
  • Food Connect, CERES Fair Food
  • Food Hub Software: StroudCo; OpenFoodSource; Food Hub Pro etc?

Food Cooperative Systems

These systems focus on supporting a food cooperative. This is similar to a buying group in Open Food Network. These systems could integrate by importing supplier and product information from OFN, as well as by being able to place orders with suppliers through OFN.

Transport and Distribution

  • MeeMeep
  • BringBee
  • New OS Distribution system?
