Completly to mention some use cases:

University

A university can make use of this in multiple ways, here are some selling arguments:

  • Room Reservation. Should be obvious ;). Additionally it would allow each institute to make reservations for their own rooms (so not to start university wide, but take a grassroot approach, e.g. with the media lab room belonging to the department of arts).
  • Hardware: Who has the beamer at the moment for the next presentation. What about the wireless card the department bought recently.
  • Books: In a fairly simple manner departments would be able to keep track of their own books.

Company

Same as university. In addition you could imagine the usage of the car pool.

Sailing Club

The sailing club could keep track of it's sailing vessels, damage that has happened to each of the boats during a rent, location where the boat is sitting around at a particular time.

Would be great to link this to an iCalendar so that you could susbcribe to the "calendar for meeting rooms" and see a "free-busy" overview of those ones (for example)! from applications like iCal (Mac), Mozilla Calendar or Outlook.

This has a lot of potential! 😊
