Buildout is a tool used for assembling applications from different parts, each driven by a recipe. An advanced recipe now exists for Odoo, and is used by more and more integrators in the community.
During this talk, you will discover that you can use Buildout to:

• quickly create an Odoo instance in a predictable and repeatable way
• use any Odoo version and any addons from any repositories (bzr, svn, hg, git)
• manage you Odoo configuration from your buildout
• interact with an Odoo instance through a Python shell
• create and deploy scripts using the Odoo API
• build automatic upgrade scripts for your project lifecycle
• quickly freeze all versions for deployment
