Appreciate it.

Yeah.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the SourceForge podcast.

I'm your host, Beau Hamilton, senior editor and multimedia producer here at SourceForge, the world's most visited software comparison site where B2B software buyers compare and find business software solutions.

Now today we are getting into something you probably interact with dozens of times a day without really thinking twice about it.

The labels, barcodes, and RFID tags that keep products moving from the factory floor to the store shelf.

Appreciate it.

Of course.

And thank you all for listening to the SourceForge podcast.

As always, I'm your host, Bo Hamilton.

Nothing's abandoned anymore, at least not in GitHub.

I still have some really old stuff over at SourceForge.

That I have no intention of bringing back because in 2026, they're just not worth anybody using.

I went ahead and tagged on Linus's response to this, where he put his oar in the water.

Mm-hmm.

In fact, I was kind of perplexed that GitHub and before GitHub, SourceForge, and if you go [laughs] further back, there was something called Fresh Meat.

Mm.

Uh, people got really excited about storing software in, in lines of, in the form of lines of code.

but it, it's, it's allowed a lot more collaborative open source than existed before GitHub, uh, was around, for sure.

Um, I used an earlier system called SourceForge, which was based around, uh, CVS.

Right.

And then later moved to Subversion, but, you know, these systems were really primitive, uh, uh, compared to how slick GitHub is these days.

Now, for this episode, I'd like you to think about how data actually gets into your business.

Every CRM record, every patient file, every loan application.

Appreciate the conversation.

Appreciate the research that you all do.

Um, thank you, SourceForge.

Glad to be here.

[upbeat music] Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the SourceForge podcast.

I am your host, Beau Hamilton.

So today's episode is one I think a lot of people are going to relate to, maybe a little bit, uh, too much.

So we're gonna get into a lot of this stuff, a lot of, uh, why, uh, EDI is such a pain for, for small businesses, what actually goes wrong when the first, uh, that first requirement lands, how EDI and ERP fit together, which trips up a lot of people, and what you should be asking a provider before you sign anything.

So we've got a lot to get into.

Jim, welcome to the SourceForge podcast.

Glad you could join us.

Beau, thank you for having me.

It was for my lab, but if you want to download it, feel free.

This was on SourceForge.

It's still on SourceForge? Or that was on SourceForge but-

It was on SourceForge

... yeah, Git- or GitHub didn't exist.

Exactly.

This is all pre-Git and pre-GitHub.

So it was on SourceForge, and people started downloading it.
