OpenERP - Open Upgrade

Following a tweet I discovered this initiative

https://launchpad.net/openupgrade-addons

To be clear, the migration service from OpenERP is cheap and without competition. Migration of ERP at a fix low price remains unique. The value of OpenERP enterprise is clear: fixed price and increased functionality every year. Unique.

However this paid services might be a problem for very small business, non-profit and verticalisation market (more open-object than openerp). It is one of the reason some people turn to Tryton (an- openerp-fork-that-may-one-day-have-a-web-client-but-web-is-not-important-because-we-have-gtk).

The fact custom modules are not part of the migration per say (or you pay more to get them converted/migrated) leave anyway an area for an alternate market.

I don't expect this to be commercial ready, but can be an help for people ready to spend some time in custom migration !

Please note... I haven't spend a second looking at this migration code... just in case ! So don't be foolish and try migrating your live erp.
