Hallo,

Would like to inform that Transport Vehicles management module now available for Open ERP 5.0.x as well as 4.2.x.

Both versions are functionally fully identical, and are planned to be in the nearest future.

Simple description can be found - http://kndati.lv/index.php/en/openerp/open-erp-addons/transportvehicles

Downloads and sources are available in Launchpad - https://launchpad.net/transport/

Downloads also in our Open ERP Downloads section - http://kndati.lv/index.php/web-links/48-tiny-erp-addons

There is also a forum branch to ask questions, discuss and suggest new features - http://kndati.lv/forum/viewforum.php?f=7

Best regards,
Kaspars

Hello,

Thank you very much sraps!! Only one question, why don't you publish it on the official repository in launchpad? I'd like to translate it into Spanish and I would like it to be available to the community through the official channel.

Anyway, good job...

Best regards.

My congratulations, sraps! Very interesting modules, the Transport Vehicles management and the ones dealing with recurrent invoice of services posted on your web.

Like liebana, I was wondering about uploading these modules in launchpad, in addons-extra o addons-community repositories. They will have more visibility and it makes easy to others to fix/improve/translate them. So everybody wins.

Hi,
of course it is good to hear that you like our job done. We will definitely continue our work on OpenERP addons and related software.

Why we are not uploading our work to the Tiny controlled launchpad/bazaar repositories? If you want to know the long story , you can read my posting history in this forum.

But to be brief, the reason is the policy executed by Tiny...

We, just like other companies, who are developing OSS, need to earn money on providing services based on this software. So you want to do business, right? for that you need strong marketing - in other words visibility.

Now look at the partners of Tiny, at least half of them are just a leeches, they are not contributing back to the community. Even if they have developed something, most of the software is proprietary.

Now even other companies (partners), which some time ago were releasing software under GPL (at least most or all the code, they are providing to their customers), are starting to do like those leeches too.

They get all the visibility, because they paid for that? Not right, think of who are responsible for that great visibility of the TinyERP -> OpenERP, the community. Now they are trying to squeeze money out of it, selling the software which were built thanks to community.

It is not normal that Tiny sells things, they do not own.

Let's imagine! We develop, release code under GPL, pay for the partnership, to get visibility, and after all that need to pay to competitor for the software module we need (which should be licensed under GPL), which is being sold under proprietary license.

It's no good.

If Tiny would demand, that at least the partners release all the (which is possible to release under GPL) code under the GPL, and would do like that by themselves too, then they could ask from other developers money for what they are asking for.

Now we take Open ERP as open source software and caring for the visibility by ourselves.

At the moment when Tiny will close the code of it, or make some advanced proprietary edition of one, we will take the code and move on by ourselves, develop independently. All the OSS developers who execute similar policy end up as proprietary software houses.

We do not agree with the policy and it is our right, so we will not promote Tiny, nor their partners, by contributing our software to their repositories.

We are involved only in translating, just like we would for other software, we have no strong relation.

P.S. Look at the community part of this site, it is almost numb, people are moving away from it, because nobody cares. People can smell that the project is no more like it used to be. And it is sad.

Best regards,
Kaspars

@liebana

We are posting our code into launchpad, so there are all the same possibilities as in other launchpad projects. We just have not set them up.

The translation of the modules are normally possible for the 5.0 version of OpenERP, but unfortunately we use 4.2 by ourselves, again because the migration script is available only to partners, we are not actively using transport module in OE 5.0.

But... if you are interested in translating it, I will upload the translation template to the launchpad project.

P.S. We were thinking of making the migration script by ourselves, as we have partial replication of the DB as part of our new OpenERP addon project...
