Odoo is an Open Source Software project that I have spent some time on. As one of the largest Open Source Software projects it is moving forward at great speed. With long term stable APIs, data formats, and designs the project will succeed into the future. I could claim to have helped with 1% of the code but am still proud when companies like Toyota take interest.
History
I started interacting with Fabien in the 1990's on mailing lists and development of ORM and fondly remember several interesting points.
- People claimed ORM was impossible
- Working with business industry and explaining Python Rounding/Math
- Sequence numbers can be user configured
- A quote, sales order, and invoice are really the same document in the long run
- Loading XML into a PostGreSQL database means the user can edit views
- It all started with a Taxi Company, a Linux/Unix Sticker Store.
- Uncles Hotels changed everything
