Libero E-evolution
Manufacturing Libero - E-evolution (Victor Perez - translation by Mario Calderon) There was a gap in manufacturing software in south-America which is why they developed libero on top of adempiere/compiere. Manufacturing with material requirements based on bill of materials. Material requirement planning build using existing modules of adempiere, workflows for actionlist (preconfigured steps).

Multiple Projects

Downside of their approach are the various licences.
Openbravo
Speaking for Openbravo is Jordi Mas from Spain. Openbravo is yet another fork of compiere, although they follow a web based approach. Fork of 2003 mostly because of Compiere weakness in the web based layer. Openbravo got funded in 2005, and now they are some 70 people working for Openbravo. Openbravo does use a modified version of the MPL based license (like compiere). This also allows Openbravo to put some restrictions as to the usage of logo and name. A Demo of openbravo is available on the big big internet. In september they will start developing Openbravo Green. To achieve this goal Openbravo has published an API, the main reason to do this is to open up their development process, looks like they inherited some policy from compiere also, but Jord Mas been a Gnome project member before is there to advice the way to go.

Lunchbreak
Implementation in Financial Company
Talk session given by Trifon, he has implemented adempiere in a financial company, by using adempiere as a framework on which he builds new functional/financial modules. The company didn't have an ERP system, they were mostly compiling reports with Excel, one report took 3-4 hours to complete. The company did had very specific requirements for their reports, like the statement of accounts which is an overview of all transactions made on that account.
Trifon has modified the Payment window of adempiere to fulfill the requirements, and also hide some tabs of the window.
Why contributors are priceless
Talk session given by Redhuan D. Oon (Red1), first some general information about Redhuan and his background as a COBOL programmer. After a quick detour in html, Redhuan learned right java by looking at the source code of compiere. Upon his first bugfix which he sent to Jorg Janke of Compiere, he received an answer from JJ some six months later. He also wrote a few starter tutorials for compiere. When he couldn't upload those tutorials to sourceforge, he booked red1.org to publish those tutorials.
How did Redhuan get so famous?
Lead people trough his journey, where the destination doesn't matter. This journey involves companionship and conversations. Both lead to more traffic and momentum, we don't stop people to ask for money, let them trough first.
How do you get paid?
Information is free, people are not and contributors are priceless. Break off a small piece and ask for the mobs fee. Hook up with big brother for big projects, our big blue ocean is infinite and perpetual, where contributors always will have the upper hand. Don't be greedy because it can spoil your karma. Don't close up when you reach the top, and if you fail, giving away wouldn't make it worse. If you don't get paid now, you will be paid later.
Many recipes
Give to the project what you have or be gone. Another way of saying release early and release often, also a famous sentence by Linus Torvalds. Place your trap where the mammoths ply. Use Sourceforge posts for conversations, in order to gain feedback from the community. Upload files, patches and contributions to Sourceforge/Wiki. Post links to your online work. Build up your profile on your wiki user page. Keep building on your wikiversity/blogs. Build your presence from the word 'go'. Minimal effort, maximum impact.
