Doing a lot of Odoo here. It's a good do-everything business suite for small businesses. I'm not sure how big implementations it can handle. Odoo is open source -although it has limitations (Richard Stallman says it's "trapped" see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy...). One of the clear advantages is flexibility to model the ERP to the actual business processes (not the other way around). There is even a possibility to sell the code via their market/app store or to share it via the Odoo Community Association. The company I work for as a team of 20+ Odoo experts. All busy. We do provide a range wide of training programs for and with Odoo as well. I'm exploring Odoo carefully for my wife's business, and it looks pretty good.

Ring.cx is a videochat app that puts user privacy and freedom 1st place. By design, there is no big brother, no middleman, no trust problem. Ring leverages the same architecture as bittorrent (DHT), a decentralized network to connect peers. From there, all communication is encrypted peer-to-peer. Best of all, it's free software, backed up by the Free Software Foundation: https://directory.fsf.org/wiki...
