-There were several solid free software projects exhibited at the trade show, among others Bananian Linux, Debian, Fedora, Geany, Joomla, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, OpenStreetMap, OpenSUSE, Skolelinux and Ubuntu. The Free Software Foundation Europe also had a major stand at the fair. Everything was at the trade show was very well prepared and the organisers were very friendly and helpful.

 Unfortunately during the days of the fair a four-day rail strike, billed as the longest in German history, hit passenger trains and thereby disrupted some of the flow of visitors to the fair.

 The majority of visitors who came to the exhibition were people with some kind of technical background and most of them already had a clear understanding of the difference between free and proprietary software. There were only a few visitors who were actually looking for an ERP solution for their business, but many were still interested to see what SQL-Ledger and LedgerCart had to offer.
-At our booth we had a 21” wide-screen monitor showing a short film with SQL-Ledger and LedgerCart in action and whenever someone had a specific question regarding the functionality of SQL-Ledger or LedgerCart, we would stop the film and show the answer to their question on that very same screen, so that everyone could join in and take part of any discussion that was held.

 ====== SQL-Ledger Alive & Kicking ======

 most people were not familiar enough with SQL-Ledger to have an opinion about what is not so good about it. Instead we had the feeling that in the majority of cases they found the software, its architecture and the various functionalities rather impressing.
-Some commented on the difficult installation, but my new simple installation script for Linux Debian was a good cure to that argument. Others missed a good and free user manual, but Armaghan and I are currently working on that too, so this weakness will hopefully also be solved in the near future.

 Regarding the wish list of improvements for SQL-Ledger we found that some visitors were missing the possibility of incorporating a Document Management System to enable the linking of transactions in SQL-Ledger to the related scanned documents in a free Document Management System like [[http://www.alfresco.com/solutions/document-management|Alfresco]].

 ====== Our friendly neighbours ======
-Our neighbouring booth to the left of us was hosted by Kivitendo, one of the early forks of SQL-Ledger, previously know as LX-Office. The hosts Geoffrey and Jan were very friendly and we agreed to keep each other updated on future development plans and other matters that might interest the other party. We also agreed that we should share knowledge and try to work together as much as possible.

-Our neighbouring booth to the right of us was hosted by Nico and Chantal from the Bananian Linux Project and the Shenzhen LeMaker Technology Company, two very interesting and complementing products. The Banana pi is a single-board computer and Banania Linux is a pre-installed Debian 7 image optimized for the Banana Pi.

-During the fair we decided to try using my Debian installation script to install SQL-Ledger and LedgerCart on a [[http://www.lemaker.org/|Banana Pi]] with the [[https://www.bananian.org/start|Bananian Linux]] operating system. The script worked well (also thanks to Rodney and Gregory for calling my attention to some previous errors in the script) and we then connected to the Banana Pi and tried posting some transactions and running some reports over the local trade show open network – and wow! Amazing! SQL-Ledger and LedgerCart runs really fast and smooth on the Banana Pi. This makes it's possible to deliver a complete pre-install of SQL-Ledger and LedgerCart on solid hardware for less than $ 100 - an absolutely unbeatable price for a complete ERP-system with an integrated Webshop. Try it, you'll like it!
