Re: Odoo v9 Community and Enterprise editions

I wouldn't really understand how this will be beneficial to OpenERP SA, seems to be a narrow approach for short-term benefits. With Odoo Paid Modules it makes absolute sense and make revenue on volume. Tagging the application as “Community” & “Enterprise” versions sounds like a completely different code base and takes greater effort for the partners to explain to their potential leads and customers. What I could see OpenERP SA forgotten about the fact that majority of the successful Odoo implementations till now were done by Partners and Community members (non-partners) with the help of community addons (OCA , OCB). Being a partner myself I could confidently say the implementations we have done so far were successful because of community support, haven’t used OpenERP SA support till now ( It’s another story why we haven’t used them)
More importantly, so called “advanced features” in enterprise version, can’t the community users develop and share them if needed and which will ultimately deployed at their customer sites, wouldn’t this detrimental to OpenERP SA compared them selling their modules as paid version which can be purchased by partners and community members.
It’s sad to see the ideology gets buried when the VC's enters into the business and the focus shifts from building a great software to protect shareholders (btw, nothing wrong protecting the shareholders but this becomes a priority which is a unfortunate)

Odoo Enterprise will consist of Odoo Community plus a set of enterprise only features (or in technical term, an additional repository with extra modules). Some new features that have been under developement latetly will be in enterprise such as electronic signature, integration with shipping providers. For example the crm_voip module (currently published as a paid app on the app store) will be in the enterprise repository. However core modules like the new accounting remains in the Community version. Odoo community will be supported as much as Odoo enterprise, Odoo Community is the foundation of Odoo Enterprise and it will remain free and open source as LGPL. For technical users, they can access the code through the same GitHub repository. The community version 9 will be at odoo/odoo#9.0 and the development branch is still at odoo/odoo#master. Odoo Enterprise users (and partners) will have access to the enterprise repository containing only the additional modules. You might have wondered why odoo master has not been pushed for a few weeks. The reason is that we had some feature branches with those extra modules, we did not want to push the merged branches as LGPL. We are currently filtering the branch with git-filter-branch before we can push it back to master. Antony._______________________________________________
