Compiere on Postgres/MySQL

Posted by Hemos on from the the-raising-of-awareness dept.

Tim Griffin writes " Compiere (arguably the most comprehensive open source ERP/CRM solution) has recently taken an interesting approach to harnessing community support for adding database independence to their product (currently it requires Oracle). They are taking pledged donations to help get the ball rolling on the project Certainly there are many feature requests in OSS I'd gladly pledge towards. Is this feature pledging a sustainability model for opensource developers/companies? Other examples, such as Blender3d which raised 100,000 EUR in 7 weeks, point in that direction. Perhaps in the future we may even see these pledge requests linked within the GUI itself? "

    I've been spending my time away from /. these days. The world is so much more rewarding that way.

    Don't know who the imposter is, but s/he's not a very good troll.
