AN interesting model for virtual ERP consultants. See technofunc.com. They have a central market place, job postings and a way to create virtual teams. A similar model could easily work with ADempiere. MJMcKay 03:22, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Here is an example of a potential partnership involving external integration with OS Commerce. [1].

Some other project history:

In the links below, I'm looking for a record of decision. The comment "no conclusion" just means that the thread doesn't contain one.

Case Studies

Advertising in the wiki

Major Advertised/Branded contributions (This is co-branding which is OK, but it seems to be free, which isn't OK in my opinion. Co-branding should require some sort of financial contribution. Most people contribute freely. To contribute and get brand support should require a financial/royalty deal. ADempiere is promoting specific businesses here which violates some of the discussions above which advocate for the community above business. Note that I'm not privy to all the background here.)

- some good investigative writing going on here? :) .. this paragraph is contentious i mean controversial, but i am not sure if this is the right i mean tight spot to push some light chat on it. Cheers! - Redhuan D. Oon 00:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Red1. Yes it is controversial, but it is only my opinion. I'm sure there are good reasons why things are the way they. What am I up to? I'm looking for the key bits and insights into the community, how it was created and how it works. Its all part of the story that needs to be told and is the background needed for the marketing plan. Understanding it will help me write the draft - especially the sections that are currently weak. In the end, when you read the marketing plan, it should feel real and authentic to you and all the community members. At that point, a more open discussion would be in order and we can talk about co-branding, advertising, ranking of contributors and other issues that may come up. In the end, I hope to have a plan that everybody agrees with and that a team of us can execute. Note that I haven't had the time to actually read all of these pages yet so some of them may not be relevant. I'm not sure if some of the policies listed were ever ratified. I'll have to ask for your help to figure that out in the next week or so. When I'm done, this page will be deleted. MJMcKay 03:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC) P.S. Got your book in the mail today!
Thanks for contributing to this discussion Mike, IMO having people/implementors/consulting houses interested in ADempiere and getting their names and number of projects is also contributing to spreading the ADempiere brand all over the world, I imagine most of them are trying to market the ADempiere in the countries they operate. Instead of deleting their presence here it should be promoted. Once they have engaged with the community an upgrade path of presence (based on some sort of financial contribution) should be offered. Just a thought. Rvergara 19:09, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
