Hi, community!
I want to announce to you one initiative that
Avanzosc
and
I 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.
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, posting on
blogs, etc). You know, a little from many, it's a lot.
This is the link for the crowdfunding project: [

you want to stay tuned, we invite you to follow @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.
