Jonathan,

Thanks for an accurate and balanced report on the Adempiere fork.

We created Adempiere to follow the Bazaar model because we were convinced Compiere was becoming a Cathedral. Compiere had some 180 degrees changes as you correctly linked in your article but those changes only happened well after Adempiere was created and publicized. Just to illustrate this point further, the last Compiere sources available for the community were uploaded in SourceForge last April and newer sources were made available only to Compiere paid partners. However, on October 13th, the same day when Adempiere 3.1 was released, Compiere opened again their sources to registered users of their SVN servers.

Next release of Adempiere is schedule for November 10th, 2006 and this time it will be released under GPL licensing.

Thanks again for sharing the news of Adempiere to your wide audience here in lwn.

Regards

Ramiro Vergara
Adempiere Project Member
