I'd like to learn and implement a simple CRM system just for my own knowledge. I don't know where or how to start.
Should I:
1) Copy SugarCRM? (I don't think I would learn much by copying...)
2) Learn the fundamental of CRM (what is it for, why there are x,y,z modules, what business problem it tries to solve?
Can someone recommend me something to begin with? Perhaps resources relevant to the fundamental of CRM (concept, as opposed to implement CRM using what's out there)?
PS: software stack doesn't matter
Thanks
What are you trying to gain from this exercise?
Are you trying to learn a specific language or programming environment by tackling an example project? Then I'd suggest you "scratch your own itch", i.e. program something that you would (or could) use yourself afterwards. If you have no use for a CRM system, do something else. If you need a CRM system yourself, I think you have a good grasp on what problems you need solved.
If you however try to learn about CRM in general, then yes, you should definitely try to read up on the basic concepts and fundamentals of it, instead of just programming one.

Recently, I am working on my course project, the topic is the creation of a new hybrid software process model by integrating Scrum and Team Software Process (TSP). Integration of these two models will be based on the SEMAT Essence Kernel Framework.
I am wondering:
Which steps should be followed for this integration (like
determination of the roles and artifacts in these two models)?
What should be the criteria to decide on good sides?
Thanks in advance!
The best way I think I can answer this question is by quoting the agile manifesto.
"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools"
Agile is about people, teamwork and craftsmanship. It's about involving the customer closely to figure out what really is needed - and delivering that, in small increments of working software. Agile is inspect and adapt, based on experimental delivery and the feedback and evidence that comes from that.
Trust yourself. Work closely together and you can do this. The best learning often comes from doing. :)

I know that many of you don't like these "vs" topics/questions but I am planning to develop new project which will use Google Maps API and I am not sure which of these 2 controls(wrappers) to use.
1st GoogleMap Control by Velio Ivanov(Artem)
http://googlemap.artembg.com/
http://googlemap.codeplex.com/
2nd GoogleMaps by Subgurim.net
http://en.googlemaps.subgurim.net/
Both controls looks to be better choice than the rest, but I am not sure which actually is the best.
I am looking for quite easy, lightweight and at the same time powerful and well documented control.
Has anyone ever used both of them? Did you have any problems with either? Did you have hard nut to crack as I have?
I will be very grateful for any comparison, advantages, disadvantages, problems etc. which may help me to choose.
Well, I have been using the Artem Map Control for some time and it has been very easy to work with. Additionally, it IS open source and the Subgurim control is NOT. If you use the Subgurim control in free mode you are exposing your program to ad's as their page says:
- Only for non commercial applications. Fully functional. No
limitations. With messages and HTML code comments from
GoogleMaps.Subgurim.NET.
I am upgrading to v6 the Artem Map Control after I write this

I am going to develop a journal system which has paper submission and review actions with evalution forms,something like OJS system. I want to use drupal for it but I am not sure if it is a good choice.
Does Drupal have ability to create such applications ?
It is a very generic question. To answer some part:
Drupal can be customized and used for a lot of projects, thanks to the powerful community and module developers.
Let me give a glimpse of possibilities, you can find the rest:
Each paper can be a content type. Each user can have specific roles and permissions (eg. publisher, editor, reviewer etc) who are allowed to do specifically what you allow them to do. They can apply for higher roles as well.
Each review process can be captured and maintained using workflow module. There are plenty of tutorials for that.
List of articles can be shown with various properties and filters using views. They can be shown in various regions of a theme you select or make of your own (or customize).
The community can be built using forums.
In short there are thousands of possible ways you can make this. But one note from personal experience: sometimes you will find extremely tough things to be done in simple ways, while simple things will take time. This is mostly because like all systems, it takes a bit of time to get used to with the drupal api.
Best of luck!

Anyone who's tried to study mathematics using online resources will have come across these Java applets that demonstrate a particular mathematical idea. Examples:
http://www.math.ucla.edu/~tao/java/Mobius.html
http://www.mathcs.org/java/programs/FFT/index.html
I love the idea of this interactive approach because I believe it is very helpful in conveying mathematical principles.
I'd like to create a system for visually designing and publishing these 'mathlets' such that they can be created by teachers with little programming experience.
So in order to create this app, i'll need a GUI and a 'math engine'. I'll probably be working with .NET because thats what I know best and i'd like to start experimenting with F#. Silverlight appeals to me as a presentation framework for this project (im not worried about interoperability right now).
So my questions are:
does anything like this exist already in full form?
are there any GUI frameworks for displaying mathematical objects such as graphs & equations?
are there decent open source libraries that exposes a mathematical framework (Math.NET looks good, just wondering if there is anything else out there)
is there any existing work on taking mathematical models/demos built with maple/matlab/octave/mathematica etc and publishing them to the web?
You might want to look at Wolfram demonstrations, and at the mathematica web player. This lets you take a Mathematica file and run it from a browser, and the demonstrations site already has thousands of demonstrations.

today I was looking for a free collaborative code editor for Mac OS X, I don't really need it but I find the idea pretty charming. So I want to know you opinion about that: is there someone in real world who is using a collaborative code editor and gets some benefits out of it?
We use it over the Internet when discussing code via Chat/VoIP. Something along:
A: "If we change this to be an Integer the function gets much simpler" (Edit)
B: "Niftiy, but then we have to change it here, too" (Edit)
A: ...
If you're pairs programming it is very useful. The approach can be discussed and everyone can drive when they have ideas. I can't say I've had the privilege of using this at work.
I've found it fairly useful when putting together packing/todo/etc lists with my wife while at work. We use google docs, which isn't quite realtime, but it is definitely better than emailing back and forth throughout the day.
