OCA Crowdfunding Platform
The purpose: To accelerate migration of existing features and new features development.
The Odoo Community Association (OCA) has launched a new initiative for the community: a crowdfunding platform.
This platform will allow the OCA to raise money to help in the development of OCA projects such as migration and improvement of existing modules / features / tools, creation of new modules / features / making tools come to life!
As an end-user, integrator, individual or a company, you can contribute by pledging to one or more crowdfunding challenges.
Our first challenge ready to be start!
As a contributor, you can propose a challenge by sending an email to: challenge@odoo-community.org
Process
Propose a challenge
You propose a Challenge, a team* and price**.
* The team decides internally how to allocate the money. The team can be made up of people from different companies.
** The price should be in Euros €. The OCA applies a 15% commission on the amount.
Evaluation
The OCA team reviews the challenge and makes sure all that all the info needed that is there.
Publication
The OCA publishes the challenge to be funded
When 50% of the budget is reached, the work can begin (with the risk that the total may not be reached - so this is to be decided by the team doing the work).
Delivery
The challenge is delivered (PR merged). The OCA contacts all parties involved in the financing and makes an announcement.
The OCA pays the team by transferring the amount collected minus the commission.
