Banquet Awards - Bug Finders Extraordinaire

The Bug Finders Extraordinaire - Buddy Walker, Bill Downall, Sami Aaron, Emmitt Dove and Charlie Parks

Sunday Afternoon Session

Sami Aaron opened the afternoon session with a story about Mike Byerly. Mike has been instrumental in adding numerous features and fixes to R:BASE.

Sami was extremely appreciative of an enhancement to the LISTOF function that helped her solve a technical problem for a customer. Mike, in turn, convinced RBTI to add the enhancement to the core R:BASE product.

Many thanks to Mike for his unselfish support and contributions to the R:BASE Community. Hmmmm . . . maybe he should be “Developer of the Year” again?

Sami Aaron: Integrating R:Scheduler into an Existing R:BASE application

As explained at rbase.com “R:Scheduler is a multi-user event calendar scheduling program, that also keeps track of individual contacts and a personnel task list.” A complete product description for R:Scheduler can be found at http://www.rscheduler.com/intro.php.

Sami presented an excellent demonstration illustrating how she integrated R:Scheduler into some of her R:BASE applications. Development and implementation was relatively easy for one customer but another customer was a bit more difficult.

She worked with RBTI to work out some technical issues and came up with an application that has been very well received by the “Saint Louis Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired”.

During the Q and A discussion that followed one conference attendee asked if the Society would be interested in marketing the product that Sami has developed. Sami responded that “they are very interested in marketing the product.”
