Openbravo Forge launches as central hub for Openbravo project development
Openbravo
Barcelona, Spain and Cambridge, MA – April 14, 2009 - Openbravo, the leading developer of web-based open source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Point of Sale (POS) solutions for businesses, announced the launch of Openbravo Forge, a new place for the community to gather and develop Openbravo’s projects and related add-ons.
The new Openbravo Forge will make it easier for community members to develop third party additions for public and private commercial use. It will have a central repository and directory of all of the modules developed, building on the modularity concept that Openbravo ERP 2.50 introduces. Each project will be able to have forums, news, downloads, bug tracking, code repository and a wiki. Community members will be able to create public projects for free. Openbravo partners will be able to register private projects, and use the Forge infrastructure to manage implementation projects.
The new Forge will recognize the valuable contributions of Openbravo’s individual developers. Each user will have a karma rating, which measures their communication and development activities. They will be able to receive updates on favorite projects via RSS feeds, Google Gadgets or email. Developers will be able to help their license and support sales by placing their own ads in web stores.
After a long period dominating SourceForge’s activity rankings, Openbravo’s Forge will replace the Openbravo project sites on SourceForge, and offer a range of new options. It is free to register and participate in: http://forge.openbravo.com.
Manel Sarasa, CEO of Openbravo, said “Openbravo Forge complements our strategy to empower our ecosystem. The release of Openbravo ERP 2.50 brings modularity, which the new community Forge will take full advantage of. Our product has been rapidly advancing, and so this move was a natural extension for the growth of the developer community.”
