Adrián Romero: Openbravo POS upgrades its license to GNU GPL version 3

With the publication of the upcoming new release of Openbravo POS we have decided to upgrade the terms of its license from GNU GPL version 2 to version 3. With GNU GPL version 3 we are up to date with the latest version of the license and we close several gaps of the previous license like granting patent licenses to every user, extending compatibility with other free software licenses and dealing with the new threats to free software that have emerged since version 2 of the GNU GPL.

Jordi Mas: Openbravo ERP Modularity videos available

Modularity is the most important feature debuting in Openbravo ERP R2.50. As a result of the modularity improvements in 2.50, developers will notice the following:
  • Easier to contribute to Openbravo ERP by allowing distributed and decoupled development and maintenance of optional features.
  • A rich set of extensions for the Community to meet their unique business requirements without bloating the core product.
  • Shorter implementation cycles by enabling system integrators to develop micro-vertical templates.
  • Scalable business opportunity by creating modules once that can be easily reused in multiple implementations, or sold to others implementing Openbravo ERP.
As part of the modularity program that we offered during the 2.50 alpha process, we created some videos to explain the main modularity concepts and workflows to the participants. We have just edited and published the videos in Openbravo Wiki.

The videos published are the following:
  • Course Introduction. A high level introduction of Openbravo modularity capabilities and benefits for users and developers.
  • Modularity Concepts‎. An introduction to the main Openbravo modularity concepts, including types of modules, the central repository and the module manager console.
  • Create a module. A description of the steps required to create, register, develop and publish a module.
  • Install a module‎. A step by step tutorial on how to install an Openbravo ERP module.
  • Update a module‎. A step by step tutorial on how to update an Openbravo ERP module.
  • Uninstall a module. A step by step tutorial on how to uninstall an Openbravo ERP module.
In case that you have little time, I strongly recommend you the modularity concepts videos that gives a good overview of Openbravo modularity from a developer's point of view.

If you have any questions regarding modularity please do not hesitate to post them in the Openbravo ERP developers forum.

Juan Pablo Aroztegi: Mercurial coming soon


Once Openbravo ERP 2.50beta is frozen, we plan to move trunk and the stable branches from Subversion to Mercurial. Check the new developer’s documentation.

We’ll let you know about the server details just before launching the migration. Please read the document and don’t hesitate to ask any doubts you have about this.

There is also an older document explaining the rationale behind this change.

To follow this migration more closely join or read the openbravo-development mailing list.

Oh, and presenting myself in my first post, my name is Juan Pablo Aroztegi, I work in Openbravo since August 2006 and I’m currently in the Release Management Team. My contact details in the about page.
