This is fantastic. One thing I'm noticing a lot have not mentioned is EDI integration or case management, fleet maintenance and appointment booking. I'd love to talk to people from these projects. I Have my own software I was looking to OpenSource. It's a lot of work when nobody has ever funded it. Perhaps relinquishing some of the responsibilities and hitching to another ERP would be an idea.

Fedora used to be the distro for this sort of thing. These are great tools and I suppose they avoid using something like Ansible, which might prove problematic for some users and use-cases. I suppose the benefit of Ansible is that it only makes the changes you specifically ask for it to instead of keeping entire documents, it's more like a few entries from a ledger. That said it also might be easier to use entire documents (I'm calling files documents because IMO document is more generic than file) so that complete settings are present if combined with a `{xyz}.d` directory rather than overwriting core config (lossy)
