If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that I often am using this as a soapbox from which to announce Free Student Training. And so - I return again today to do more of the same.

But I'll start with a little philosophy and context here before I get to the meat of newest set of offerings.

One of the priorities we have at OpenERP s.a. is usability! In this extent, we have developed another feature that we believe will simplify the use of your configuration in OpenERP. How did we make this be possible? First of all, we grouped the configuration in one single place and simplified the screen by giving you the freedom to decide what you want use and what you want to see. 

In former versions of OpenERP, the user had to change his interface, by switching between simplified and extended, then install modules, and/or add groups to users. As a user, you were really not offered many choices and sometimes had to use some features that you didn't need.

Now, each application has its own configuration defined in one form. All those forms are in the menu Settings of OpenERP. The configuration form gives the users options to select from and apply immediately. Once done, the system is configured immediately

Let's see how this is done with and example of a Sales Order. Here is a sale order without configuration:  

Configure sales in Settings/Configuration/Sales:

• You want to manage discount - Select the option "Discount".

• You want Pricelist - Select the option "Pricelist per Customer".

• you invoice on deliveries - Select invoicing method "Based on Deliveries".

 

Here you have the wizard with the features you want: 

 

After configuration, a sales order looks like this: 

• The selected items in the configuration form will install the needed modules, add the necessary groups to users, or set some default values.

• It also makes pricelists and discount visible in sale orders, and configure the system to generate invoice after deliveries.

• You did not check "Allow Different Units of Measure", so you don't see units of measure in your sale order or product views.

So, there you have it, the new improved configuration wizard to make your usability experience with OpenERP more pleasant and faster.

 

In most enterprises today, the web is broken.

The Migrate module is the leading tool for migrating data from an external application into Drupal. Migrate has been used to bring many world class sites onto Drupal, including The Economist, Martha Stewart and thousands more. The main theme of the upcoming Migrate 2.4 release is improved file handling on Drupal 7.

Measuring Community Participation in Open Source Projects: Data from Drupal.org

A defining aspect of open source software such as Drupal is the collaboration among multiple individuals and organizations on the same software.

So how do you measure the activity of contributors who are working on that software?

For Drupal-based projects, the issue queue and project usage statistics are two good sources of data for measuring participation.

NBC Universal is a world leader in media and entertainment and is headquartered in the mecca for these industries - Rockefeller Center in New York City.

As you may already know, Drupal has been heavily adopted by the Media, Entertainment and Publishing industries around the world - and for good reason. If you're a company that is content-rich, may need to scale your website quickly and sometimes without warning, and if your revenue streams are highly dependent upon your online presence and related channels like mobile, then Drupal is an unbeatable solution.

Over the past decade, socialization on the Web has completely transformed how people consume information and interact with one another. Today’s marketing organizations now have the responsibility of capturing an integrated view of their customer across channels, while simultaneously promoting, delivering, and measuring engagement of those customers. This must be managed at every touchpoint along the customer journey all the way from initial response to checkout.

Pour la première fois l’antenne parisienne fraîchement formée prend les rênes d’un rendez-vous AFUP. Les membres ont choisi pour cette première de se pencher sur les CMS, lors d’une soirée intitulée «Les CMS open-source en PHP : Drupal, Joomla et WordPress».
En effet, ces trois CMS sont parmi les plus utilisés, les plus populaires et les plus récompensés, arrivant en tête de nombreux classements.

Quelles sont les spécificités de chacune de ces solutions ?
Quelles sont leurs forces, leurs faiblesses ?
Quelles possibilités d’évolution, quels outils d’administration ?

Amaury Balmer, Jean-Baptiste Ingold et Raphaëlle Simmoney, tous trois invités pour présenter la soirée, tâcheront de répondre à toutes ces questions, afin que les auditeurs puissent être en mesure de choisir en fonction de leurs besoins et de leurs contraintes.

Amaury Balmer, directeur technique de la société Be API, présentera WordPress ; Jean-Baptiste Ingold, consultant réputé, présentera Drupal et Raphëlle Simonney, modératrice de l’antenne parisienne, présentera Joomla.

Le rendez-vous se tiendra le mercredi 23 mai à La Cantine, dès 18h30.

Last month, we announced the launch of Enterprise Drupal Gardens, our OpenSaaS site factory platform.

It's the Drupal t-skirt! You have a pile of Drupal t-shirts, you can knit some Drupal socks (by Emma Jane Hogbin), and now you can complete your outfit with a skirt.

This year's annual summit was a great success due to the quality of the presentations, shared vision and strategy and the ever increasing number of participants. But also, to the opportunity an event like this gives our community and partners to come together, collaborate and also have some fun.

OpenERP is based on a unique ecosystem where the community, partners and editor work together to build a successful, relevant and affordable product. In order to express our gratitude and recognition towards our community and partners, this year's summit included an awards ceremony.
 

                                                                2012 OpenERP award winners with Fabien  

Among the categories selected this year were the Best Contributor Award, Best Partner Asia, Best Partner Europe and many others. It was often quite difficult to select the nominees and particularly to pick one winner among them.

The final award winners are the following:

Best Contributor: Camptocamp 

They have been gold partners for more than 5 years now and have been contributing immensely ever since. A quick look on http://apps.openerp.com will show why they won the best OpenERP contributor award 2012. This award specifically rewards the author of the OpenERP modules and tools that are most used by the community. Camptocamp's webkit-based reporting engine and geoengine are great examples of such contributions.

Most active contributor: Vauxoo

The most active contributor awards goes to the contributor who has been producing the largest number of modules, patches, translations and localizations during the last year.

Any member of the community will certainly know Vauxoo for their tireless dedication to the OpenERP community, and their uncompromising open source spirit (Have you seen Nhomar's talk this year? http://slidesha.re/K1eI1O

This incredible company is not only the largest OpenERP Partner in Latin America, but they manage to create and maintain OpenERP localizations and translations for half of LATAM countries, all by themselves! Those yearly contributions represent a huge number of hours and resources, and clearly designates them as most active contributor for 2012.

Best Partner Europe: Smile

Smile has been selected as the best partner in Europe because of it's successes in their customer implementation projects. They helped putting OpenERP in production to some of the biggest companies using OpenERP and they implement an impressive number of projects on OpenERP every year. Some of the big projects that Smile worked on are: France24, Veolia, Nouvelles Frontieres and many others. 

Best Partner America: NovaPoint

There  are many reasons why Novapoint deserves this recognition. First of all,  for an excellent communication with the vendor, in terms of decision  making and collaboration. Secondly, for fully embracing OpenERP’s  business model and its OpenERP Enterprise. Last, but not least for  having published many contributions. They have also been an important player in the penetration of OpenERP in the US market from a product perspective with the adaptation of several specific business concepts like check writing, deposit tickets, credit card payment, and payroll systems integration.

Best Partner Asia: Itara

Itara succeeded to replace a well known ERP for his customer Trident. They have replaced Dynamics with OpenERP and implemented several modules, such as: Sales, Purchase, Manufacturing, Warehouse Management, etc. Later on, they migrated to version 5.0 to 6.0 and after 1 year they get managed to replace Tally, Accounting system with OpenERP. Now, Trident is a big success story in the Indian market with Indian localization. See here an interview with Rajesh Kanna, CEO of Itara: http://bit.ly/JMXljj

Best Partner Africa: Kazacube

From  the begining of the partnership, Kazacube has had a good and fruitful relationship with the vendor. In a very short time, it became the second best OpenERP CTP worldwide. Moreover, in terms of revenue and activity in Africa, there is no equal partner just yet. 

Best CTP: Vauxoo

It's official, Vauxoo has trained more than 140 people in just one year. They have managed  to cover a number of countries in Latin America, like Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, etc. This winner was a no brainer for OpenERP, as their numbers and dedication speak for themselves. Moreover, Vauxoo forecasts that this year is to at least double this number. 

Best Translation team: Arabic Launchpad Team

This award goes to the translation team that has been producing the most impressive translation effort over the past year. Among the 42 teams assigned as of 2012, the Arabic team is clearly the winner. They started translating from scratch little more than a year ago, and have aleady completed 70% of the complete OpenERP translation (more than 18000 terms to translate in total). We do have many teams actively maintaining their translations above the 90% bar, but few of them have been able to get from 0 to 70% in such a short amount of time!

Most active Community website: Openerp-italia

Many countries have an active OpenERP Community, and most of them have a community website. Among them, the Italian Community's website ranks highest in terms of activity, as reported by various traffic analysis means. They have a large number of users and contributors, as well as a wiki and a very active forum, which could even start to overshadow the official OpenERP.com forum!

Although we could only reward 9 winners, for many of them it was a close call, and it is likely that next year's awards will offer quite a different landscape! 

We are of course deeply grateful to every single contributor, it is a great honor and pride to build the world's best ERP system together with so many enthusiastic people, from all over the planet!

 

At DrupalCon Denver, I announced the need for a strong focus on Drupal's authoring experience in my State of Drupal presentation. During my core conversation later in the week, I announced the creation of a Drupal 7 distribution named "Spark" (formerly code-named "Phoenix"). The goal of Spark is to act as an incubator for Drupal 8 authoring experience improvements that can be tested in the field.

J’ai identifié un problème assez ennuyeux il y a quelques jours lorsque j’essayais de lancer des tests simpletests depuis un module du core, quelque soit le test déclenché, le batch plantait. Après vérification que la résolution du nom de ma VM se faisait bien localement, c’est la panne sèche, pas d’idée sur la cause du [...]

Voilà un billet d’un style un peu différent, plus court qu’à l’habitude, à propos d’une information bête au sujet des fonctions de validation qui m’a fait perdre une heure hier et qui aurait pu être évitée. Si vous vous retrouvez dans la situation où vous ajoutez une fonction de validation sur un formulaire mais que [...]

Dans les épisodes précédents vous avez pu lire une première présentation de Rules, module très utile et avec qui vous allez devoir devenir meilleurs amis lorsque vous utiliserez Drupal Commerce.

Comment faire pour déclencher des actions avancées de façon conditionnelles avec Drupal ? Avec trigger et action les modules de core ? Oui pourquoi pas, mais connaissez-vous Rules ? Rules est un module développé par Wolfgang Ziegler AKA fago et est simplement une pure merveille et ça ne serait pas surprenant qu’il soit intégré à [...]
