- 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. There is also a Council of trustees to be responsible for this community and the project's well-being.

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 vigilant 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 Forking Debate sparked off this community creating Adempiere - a similarly close Italian word to Compiere but carried more semantics with a vengeance - "to fulfill towards completion, with respect and honour".

Name: Akos Gabriel From: Hungary

Currently evaluating Compiere (again, did it one year ago) at workplace. Senior J2EE developer, system administrator background. I'd love PostgreSQL support very much. I documented installation of ERBox (another fork :) ) on Linux+Pg. I'd build a Debian package if licenses permit. I have documented PgCluster installation (could be interesting for HA-production environments). First idea: do not block installation into that installer.jar, it is absolutely not datacenter-friendly. I'd prefer a no-GUI, configurable installer. For example what if I don't want pg814 but instead I want my pgcluster being used. Or I have already pg815... :)

Welcome Akos! can u put your documentation install of ERBox/Linux+Pg into this wiki link? at the wiki Tutorial .. u can use title such as 'ERBox Install On Linux'. Just make link from this title if it is already online. After that, we put your name in! :) So simple!

Name: Ben Stewart: Australia Currently working in a company that I have formed withe a friend. 10+ years of development, sysadmin and ERP implementations. I have had experience in Oracle Ebusiness Suite, Accpac and a number of other more obscure packages. What we really need is something that works and is comperable (from a features point of view) with the packages already out there. What I like to see in an ERP package.. reports.. and lots of them... they are what company managers/owners need on a day to day basis. We evaluated Compiere some time ago and lost interest when we were asked to give big $$ for an ERP package that had a reporting solution involving exporting to excel?? what the. www.pentaho.org and www.liferay.com are our friends...lets go !!!

Hi Ben! looking forward to your points and ideas. Yes, we want to push the limits of freedom, to truly end to end free.

Name: Leif Perzon: Sweden Been following Compiere for two years. I've been an IT-consultant, as developer, for 20-years, the last 10 years mainly in management positions, still with my soul in software development. At present my focus is in establishing a business that delivers IT-solutions based on OpenSource products to SMB-market. We are using Mandriva Linux, Liferay, Alfresco and ADempiere.

I have refined the Swedish translation and created a Swedish accounting file. These were contributed to ADempere using my SourceForge user "lpz06". My personal contributions will mostly be around requirements and testing, but I also have good knowledge in Java, Oracle, mySQL and general systems architecture. As a company we are proffessionals in J2EE systems development. Among other things we are running the TimeTrix project at SourceForge. The TimeTrix system itself isn't very sofisticated but we started it mainly to get practical experience in OpenSource project development.

Welcome Leif we already listed u anyway! just give me your email id.. update your Talk page will do. i will refer to it.

Name: Bahman Movaqar, Iran.

I have been working with Compiere for 1 year at workplace, therefore as my last task, currently analysing and studying the feasibility of utilising a rule engine (Drools or Manadarax) in Compiere (may prove useful to ADempiere!). In addition I am a senior J2EE developer and a Linux guru with strong background in Linux and PostgreSQL administration. Also, I admire the 'open documentation' philosophy, thus willing to take part in translation process (as I have done for PC-BSD project). I would be very glad if you would find my knowledge and will to participate, helpful. Warm Regards
