Why is there no normal ODOO community?

Question

ERP

All over the world, odoo is making leaps and bounds, has a huge community and allows you to make a very high-quality and relatively reliable management system for any business, but in Russia something is somehow weak, it seems that there is simply no living community, but there are scattered developers, found a kind of community: odoo-russia. ru but you won't even register there! Captcha does not give, apparently a dead forum already.
What prevents the creation of a normal Russian community? Or are we all used to 1s automation?
For example, Vtiger has a completely normal Russian community, but the system itself is less stable and reliable in my opinion than odoo (at the moment I use Vtiger).
Maybe there are some real reasons why this system does not take root with us?

Answer 1

Perhaps because no one has heard of her?
In addition, it is expensive, there is no Russian technical support, there are no specialists. Well, who needs her like that?

Answer 2

We slowly began to create a community, we started with the translation of documentation, because. without Russian documentation, getting into Odoo is very difficult. https://open-odoo.ru. This year we plan to launch blogs and a forum on Odoo.

Answer 3

Probably because she didn't give up on anyone. Just like in the noughties "we say a text document - we mean word", so now "we say ERP, we mean 1C"

Answer 4

because there it is necessary to redo half of it under local legislation.
there are also analogues

Answer 5

I will allow myself a few theses:
1. I do not want to offend anyone, but, in my experience, enthusiastic programmers, singles or groups undertake to promote Odoo in Russia. This means a question to the customer: "You tell us what to program for you, and we will do it quickly and efficiently." It all comes down to discussing forms, customer-specific calculations and reports, and Odoo is seen as an advanced "development framework".
2. The core of Odoo is accounting. Everything else - sales, purchases, storage, production, site building and much more - is the binding of the core. Configuring Odoo for a customer begins with setting up an accounting. Please note: not Russian accounting, the only purpose of which- accrue taxes and pay off the state, and the cultural western accouting'a for the needs of financial and operational management.
3. Consequence 1: don't waste your time trying to shove the unimpressible - Russian boom into Odoo. accounting, which in essence remains hybrid - Soviet accounting, which did not provide for the very existence of private property, turned over in the early 90s to simulate accounting in a free economy.
4. Consequence 2: the transition to the cultural norms of Western accounting requires from the customer - the entrepreneur and / or general manager - intellectual efforts, and then organizational efforts to change people's behavior. This is an axiom: any complex tool that is built into the collective activity of people changes this activity.
5. If, nevertheless, an entrepreneur gets a little tense and masters, not in theory, in practice, the basics of Western accounting (accounting) and integrates Odoo into a business or, quite possibly, uses one instance of Odoo in multi-company mode for all his companies/businesses, he will be able to see almost in real time how his money works, what happens to his capital.
6. In a situation where the Russian economy is falling, the ability to count obligations and plan resources is one of the conditions for the survival of a business. For entrepreneurs who decide to stay in business and survive the coming one or two years of crisis, in order to make up for lost time, the time spent on the practical development of Western accounting, say, on the basis of the freely distributed Odoo Community Editon, will turn into a serious advantage in the future.

Answer 6

In the current world, everything is driven by PR advertising.

Answer 7

In general, I advise you to take a closer look at the fork from Odoo - Flectra ( https://flectrahq.com/)
According to the code, it is 99.99% compatible with Odoo. But, unlike Odoo, it is completely open

Answer 8

Is it possible to somehow "install" the Studio module in the Odoo Community;) ?
It would not be bad to howl directly in the browser of the form.
