Open ERP

Sourceforge recently launched the 2009 Community Choice Awards. Nominations opened on May 6th and will end on May 29th. Projects with the highest number of nominations in each category will be selected as the finalists. We hope to get your support to get ComUnion ERP in:

 

  

• Best New Project
  
• Best Project for the Enterprise

 

We have hit a few snags in the development of ComUnion which means we will be missing our original development roadmap.

That's the bad news.

The good news is we continue to make progress with the project and are happy with the interest the project has been getting from the international community. Our project leader--Rowel has been in touch with sone of you. We are aggressively looking for community volunteers to help us get the project off the ground and into Beta, so if you are interested, please sign up and join our Community Forums. 

We are also setting up a mailing list for those who want to join our development team. 

 We badly need help in:

• Testing
  
• Localization
• Documentation
  
• Core Development (experts in Javascript frameworks--ie  JQuery
• Core Development using PHP (expertise in Code Igniter needed)
• Developers who have experience in charting applications such as SWF charts or CSS-driven charts for the dashboard development. 
  

Please get in touch with us if you want to volunteer--specially for core development. Thanks!

Happy New Year to everyone! This year promises to be an exciting one as we try to move to Beta and a stable release.
