ADempiere ERP Wiki:Community Portal
- Its Just A Community - Nothing Personal -
Who Are We?
The community is made up of various categories of people, and we are sure you must fit into at least one of them. There are contributors, developers, testers, writers, users, as well as businesses, authorities, experts, newbies and students.
Each community will have its own history and culture. This particular community has its roots within the Compiere SourceForge project over the last 3 years. They started as users and implementors of this great software project, and began to progress in leaps and bounds of their own capability to master it and even extend it for various end-users.
The community was generally grateful to Compiere's creator, Jorg Janke, and tolerated his business model of charging users that wished for priority support, training and the user manual. Many even contributed codes, bugs reports and fixes and recommendations on how best this premier Open Source ERP/CRM solution can expand further. Even though Jorg Janke hardly responded to the forums' messages or even those that were directly aimed at him, the community enjoyed ample support and encouragement from other community seniors on a voluntary and vigilante basis.
Trouble soon set in soon after ComPiere Inc, USA, the commercial entity behind this project, obtained some purportedly USD6 million funding from some angel investor that soon joined its Board of Directors. Many among the paying partners of Compiere began to question new policy changes and soon some debate sparked off this community forking in the form of Adempiere - a similarly close Italian word to Compiere but carried more semantics with a vengeance - "to fulfill towards completion, with respect and honour".
Here we list down among the community's figures and this list is a growing list that can only get longer.
