Hi, community! I want to announce to you one initiative that Avanzosc<http://www.avanzosc.es/>and I <http://serviciosbaeza.com/en/> have launched today: a crowdfunding campaign to migrate and enhance modules that extend manufacturing features of OpenERP. We have called it with the original name OpenMRP :p
Our intention is to maximize the manufacturing functionality of OpenERP, one of the pendings, and promote it as a real alternative for this unexplored business sector for open-source ERPs. With that intention, Avanzosc started two years ago the project for the version 6.0. It was a huge improvement over the existing functionality on standard MRP. There is also a port for version 6.1. You can find both under the Launchpad project OpenMRP <https://launchpad.net/openmrp>. But since then, OpenERP has evolved, and there are some areas where the difference is big (for the interface, for example, OpenMRP was designed with GTK client in mind), and there is a great lack in other areas, like documentation. So I have joined Avanzosc with the purpose of increasing coding quality, applying best practices, improving usability and enhancing integration with the rest of the apps. That's why we have raise this campaign, to assure enough resources to perform these tasks completely and with the best possible quality. Obviously, all of this without losing the open source nature. The final goal of the project is to add it to the community repositories, but for this, we need to do a lot of work before (tests, code according guidelines, documentation, etc). So in this occasion, I ask you to collaborate with this initiative at least with the minimum quantity to allow us to achieve the goals, or if you can't or if you are not interested, just helping us to spread the word as much as possible (making RT of our tweets <https://twitter.com/OpenMRP>, posting on blogs, etc). You know, a little from many, it's a lot. This is the link for the crowdfunding project: [0<http://goteo.org/project/OpenMRP?lang=en>]. If you want to stay tuned, we invite you to follow @openMRP [1<https://twitter.com/OpenMRP>], where we will publish all the announcements and news about this exciting project that we would like to success in short time. Thank you very much in advance. Regards. [0] Goteo crowdfunding project: http://goteo.org/project/OpenMRP?lang=en [1] OpenMRP Twitter: https://twitter.com/OpenMRP
