RAIV is a flexible tool for inventory management and monitoring. It is a web-based application for tracking inventory, changelogs, customer relations, monitoring the dynamic relationships between all these, and much more.
An open source license (GNU GPL) means that RAIV is freely distributed and supported by its community. There are always plenty of ways to get involved and there are tasks for all experience levels.
RAIV is built to be as flexible and modular as possible. This means it is simple and easy to extend the functionality of RAIV to suit your needs. There is a contributed modules repository and you can even create your own module.
The project idea was born out of the ever-growing OSU Open Source Lab data centers, where RAIV is currently being developed.

Welcome to the brand new RAIV project. RAIV officially started around September 2006. Since then we have been working hard on planning and laying other groundwork. The idea for RAIV came from the OSU Open Source Lab, where the majority of development is currently being done.
Recently, we welcomed two OSU seniors to the project, Eric Jorgenson & Jordan Jones. Eric and Jordan will be spending the school year developing a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module for RAIV for their senior capstone project. Welcome Eric & Jordan! We are excited to have you.
We would also like to welcome Ted Kubaska. Ted is the first member of our volunteer community and he is always eager to help the project. Welcome Ted and thank you very much for your effort and enthusiasm!
RAIV is currently working through the planning and decision making phase. Also, there is always administrative tasks to be done, such as builing/maintaining this website. Coding should start soon and nightly builds and hopefully a basic release will follow soon after. If you are interested in RAIV, please read details about RAIV, share your ideas and feedback in the forums, and check out how to get involved!
Let's get this party started!! :)
