OpenERP

[Atle]

Once upon a time i made a little 5.2.8 with LHMP and Joomla/ WebERP.
It can be made again.

There are lots of free software that can replace the cost of OpenERP as i see it.

If one likes to make a "Business Server" i think that can be very relevant to small business owners in various places and situations as its free as in a free beer:-)

12€ monthly by set off applications.

ERP is an empty shell Unless you pay modules.
As a summary, to build a great product, you need:
Customers: to finance the improvements (through services to partners for new features, through OpenERP Publisher's Warranty for long term maintenance and evolution)
Partners: to develop new features and support customers (mainly points 1 and 3)
Community: to continuously improve the quality of the software, by providing constant feedback and contributions
OpenERP: to improve the product (mainly points 2 and 3)
But even if it was free, Puppy's users don't use that...

They are lot of bugs. see ERP forum.

Better : try 'stock y ventas'. The app works in Slacko 5.5. But i have nothing to sell. I'am not a business man, not a teacher, i am a retired man.

OpenERP : use Windows ! Business in Puppy is a waste of time...

Actually, OpenERP was rebranded long time ago to Odoo:

https://www.odoo.com/

My partner's family actually ran their business using OpenERP ver 7 for some years (was very stable and came with all the modules required and more). I installed it for them on Ubuntu originally and later on DebianDog.

By the way, Odoo is free to use if you download everything yourself and run it on your own server. It only costs if you use want to use the online servers of Odoo company. That's what the 'free trial' given via Odoo website is all about. The code itself is free and downloadable. The source code is also open. Of course, Odoo would like to make some money... so they don't say much about getting the software - rather they concentrate their marketing on their online paid for service - but you don't need to buy into that...

The only problem is if you want to upgrade your whole company database (it uses Postgres underneath) to new Odoo version (assuming you have installed Odoo to your own server, which is free as I say) - the scripts that Odoo themselves can use to do this are not freely available. But, as I said, Odoo (ERP software) is totally free to download and use, and it is fantastic software - I doubt you could get it working easily on Puppy though - hence my using DebianDog when I installed it; it will be even easier to install on MintPup because Ubuntu is the preferred platform.

Odoo is also available for MS Windows platform and I did try an install on that during testing. However, personally I would never use a Windows platform for business purposes though 'perhaps' MS WIndows server OS is more secure than its desktop versions...(?)

Is there someone who can do an updated sfs for Odoo?

The old one did not work for me and taking into account that the version has moved on to 8 I rather would invest the time on a working new installation.

Is there someone interested on making Odoo 8 sfs package or work together on getting this done?

Never ERP app was installed on Puppy, in my knowledge, even if they work... See forum Business by Musher0. I believe that himself does not run applications he proposes.
I have Open Concerto running in my Windows 7.
you can get help from Musher0 here.
