OpenBooking

Welcome

OpenBooking is a free, open source web-based resource booking application, designed for use within schools, colleges and universities, but applicable to any corporate environment.

The system can be completely customised to suit any situation, and can scale from single meeting rooms and laptops to site-wide resources such as movable laptop trolleys and projectors, with multiple locations and timed booking slots.

The project has been designed and implemented by Craig Watson at Aberystwyth University as part of the CS39440 Major Project Dissertation, and is released under the Mozilla Public License, version 1.1.

Get Involved!

As the application is released to the public domain, the opinions of developers, users or testers alike are greatly appreciated. Developers can check out the source code trunk via Subversion:

svn checkout http://openbooking.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

I will be adding details on how to contribute to OpenBooking in the coming weeks, however if you would like to get involved, please email me at craig@openbooking.co.uk.
