POSSIBILITIES OF OPEN SOURCE COLLABORATION SOFTWARE USAGE AT THE FACULTY OF AERONAUTICS

Abstract

This article demonstrates the possibilities of using systems to support collaboration and brings the latest knowledge of programming tools for supporting teamwork. The project is focused on describing systems with open source licenses which are freely available for quick and easy team organization and which allow its own modification. The first part of the article is focused on theoretical information about the opportunities of collaborative software (groupware). The second part highlights the reasons for the introduction of open source software solutions to an organization and looks at the possibilities of using these systems at the Faculty of Aeronautics. The third part of the article specifies the criteria for the selection of the final groupware system. According to the specified criteria, the most appropriate solution of open source software to support collaboration for the needs of the Faculty of Aeronautics will be then used.
