Crowdfunding platform
To accelerate migration of existing features and new features development.
The OCA launches its brand new Crowdfunding platform!
This platform will allow the OCA to raise money to help OCA projects such as migration and improvement of existing modules / features / tools, creation of new modules / features / 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

* 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 info needed 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).
