Hello Community.
Well, what a year it has been! It is hard to believe we are quickly heading into the festive season. The OCA would like to thank everyone who attended the OCA Days in Louvain-la-Neuve in October. It is always encouraging to see so many of our contributors working together and I know many of you enjoyed the actual face to face time with your peers. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
The Odoo Community Association is open to all, and everyone can contribute to the GitHub repositories. If you feel that the OCA has an important role supporting the open source values and the community efforts, please help us by becoming a Member.
Best regards,
