Hi, community!

I want to announce to you one initiative that
Avanzosc<http://www.avanzosc.es/>and
I <http://serviciosbaeza.com/en/> have launched today: a crowdfunding
campaign to migrate and enhance modules that extend manufacturing features
of OpenERP. We have called it with the original name OpenMRP :p

Our intention is to maximize the manufacturing functionality of OpenERP,
one of the pendings, and promote it as a real alternative for this
unexplored business sector for open-source ERPs. With that intention,
Avanzosc started two years ago the project for the version 6.0. It was a
huge improvement over the existing functionality on standard MRP. There is
also a port for version 6.1. You can find both under the Launchpad project
OpenMRP <https://launchpad.net/openmrp>.

But since then, OpenERP has evolved, and there are some areas where the
difference is big (for the interface, for example, OpenMRP was designed
with GTK client in mind), and there is a great lack in other areas, like
documentation. So I have joined Avanzosc with the purpose of increasing
coding quality, applying best practices, improving usability and enhancing
integration with the rest of the apps. That's why we have raise this
campaign, to assure enough resources to perform these tasks completely and
with the best possible quality.

Obviously, all of this without losing the open source nature. The final
goal of the project is to add it to the community repositories, but for
this, we need to do a lot of work before (tests, code according guidelines,
documentation, etc).

So in this occasion, I ask you to collaborate with this initiative at least
with the minimum quantity to allow us to achieve the goals, or if you can't
or if you are not interested, just helping us to spread the word as much as
possible (making RT of our tweets <https://twitter.com/OpenMRP>, posting on
blogs, etc). You know, a little from many, it's a lot.

If you want to stay tuned, we invite you to follow @openMRP

where we will publish all the announcements and news about this exciting
project that we would like to success in short time.

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards.
