In this episode, Martin and Chris talk about the use of FLOSS in real estate. Chris laments his big landowner woes which he got into after inheriting a zoo of different pieces of real estate some time ago. And how he solved this using FLOSS components that put sense into half-baked billing information coming from property management companies and how a neural net was recruited to help along the way. Even if you're not insane but just curious about how it's done you don't want to miss this episode. Plus bonus content about what happened to format of the show and why that was.
