Odoo: The new OpenERP

Re:Odoo: The new OpenERP by icebraining on Thursday May 15, 2014 @12:09PM (#7750275)

By the way, the core and base modules (and in theory, all community modules, since they're derived works) of Odoo are Free Software (APGL) and available on Github: https://github.com/odoo/odoo

Disclaimer: I work for a company that implements solutions based on Odoo for small and large companies. So yeah, it's possible to make a living working on FOSS, if anyone still doubted it :)

I'd love to chat with you about my open source ERP, Stockor (stockor.org) Email is nathan @ that domain.

I'm currently firming up the plugin interface for it and am really want to get it right so that third-parties can easily build on top of it.

Yes, throwing it out would be suicide, since it'd break every module out there. They're revamping it while keeping backward compatibility, though, and the new API is definitively nicer.

Looks like it: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/master/openerp/osv/orm.py

I cannot understand why anyone would not use SQLAlchemy if they're building a database-backed Python application.

True today, but not 10 years ago :)

Plus Odoo ORM and SQLAlchemy have different purposes.
