Albert, I was not talking about nan in my email. I have a lot of respect for nan which is a very good company and that share a good open source vision.

I know we disagree on that. But you can not compare selling a module and selling a migration service. We are not in favor of selling modules, but selling services is good for theproduct. Each migration requires us several hours of work. A migration service is like a bugfix or a support service, it's several hours of work per request. I am sure you will discover that doing a migration costs always times and money: even with the promess of tryton, you will rarely succeed to migrate without wasting time on it. PS: may be I should explain what you call the sensorship on the mailing list. We think the partner list must be moderated as we had a lot of partners that unsubscribed because they say there are too much noise on the list. We have mainly directors in this list, they don't want to waste time on unconstructive discussions. So we often apply moderation (not sensorship) to keep the list focused on business topics. We moderate: if it's a support question, technical issues on openerp, promotion of commercial offers, complaints (about openerp or another partner). I would say that we moderate about 30% of the mails. In order to avoid frustrations like you had, we have now an automated message that explains the reasons why me moderate to the author. Our goal is not to censor the community as you say. They are others channel that are not moderated like the community list and the forum. We just want to use the right channel for the right purpose and avoid to create noise for partners. It's a pity that those misunderstandings created frustrations between us. I hope we will be able to collaborate efficiently again. -- Fabien Pinckaers CEO OpenERP Chaussée de Namur 40 B-1367 Grand-Rosière Belgium Phone: +32.81.81.37.00 Fax: +32.81.73.35.01 Web: http://openerp.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : openerp-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
