Working in teams¶

Contributors¶

Contributors are people who want to help the project improve, add functionality and improve stability. Anyone can contribute on the project by reporting bugs, proposing some improvement and posting patch.

The community team is available on launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community

Community Contributor Teams¶

Official committers are people allowed to commit in the shared community repositories. Those people are approved as committers by the community once they've provided enough good-quality patches and/or contributions in the project.

They are allowed to :

• Propose and post their own patches against bug reports.

• Review patches from contributors, comments and / or improve them.

• Commit good-quality patch or contribution in the community repository.

• Write a news on the Planet OpenERP RSS

The community contributors team list include the following main teams (get the complete list here : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community-reviewer/+participation), most specific to a given category of OpenERP features:

After contributing on a specific team's project, you can apply to be part of the related team and the members of that team will vote on your approval.

As part of all of all other " * Core Editors" teams, we have the "OpenERP Community Reviewer" team : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community-reviewer

The goal is to have a basis of strong community members in all specific teams. This is a team of well experienced OpenERP developers that can have a word on any community developments. Their role is to help having good quality, well maintained modules. They have a mailing list here: openerp-community-reviewer@lists.launchpad.net

Historically there was the generic OpenERP committers team, but it has become deprecated along with the phase out of the obsolete extra-addons shared repository.

OpenERP Core Team¶

The OpenERP core team are the employees from OpenERP SA responsible for the quality of the Official repository. They assure the stability and coherence of the official version by reviewing all patches and commits.

The OpenERP Core Team is available on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~openerp

Expert Teams¶

To help developers and contributors make the right decisions when improving OpenERP, we set up expert teams for different management domains. Only people that have a strong experience in OpenERP and the related domain can apply as an expert. We have teams of accountants, manufacturing experts, technical experts, services management experts, ...

Developers can contact our experts mailing list when they need feedback on particular features to be developed. Please contact our experts only for new development related questions. They don't provide help on current features of OpenERP. Most of our experts have very senior positions in the company they work for, so they don't have time to spend providing help or support.

The expert teams are:

• Accounting: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting

• Services Management: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-service

• Manufacturing Industries: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-production

• Framework: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-framework

• Usability: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-ergonomy

• Localization/Translations: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-localization

Translators team¶

The translation teams are in charge of the translation of OpenERP in a specific language. The list of current translation teams can be found here: https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/openobject-translators

For more information regarding OpenERP translations and the corresponding process, please see the Odoo Translations moved to Transifex section.

Merge Proposal¶

Making a merge proposal of your own code is the way to integrate your work in the OpenERP project. You can request a merge proposal either on OpenERP's branch or OpenERP community's branch. In every project the process is the same and you can get the basic documentation here: https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Review
