OpenERP POS Coming...
Fabien posted a few documents concerning the touchscreen pos in OpenERP.

Joomla 1.6 - mxed feeling
Joomla 1.6 is finally released. I will not comment on the API changes, I had no time to look at it. For the web site designers two things are important: improved granularity for the access security. And the removal of the section/category classifcation by an unlimited levels of categories.
The last one is great. Things that are so limited (2 levels) are usually poor design. They however usually have their origin in the difficulty to maintain a tree in SQL.
On the other side, this was not the major issue with Joomla classification. The key issues remain: an article is only in one category and categories applies to article, nothing else...
Modularity is great, but key supporting features need to be in the kernel. Joomla is moving to the right direction but slowly !

Pychecker
I will not discuss the pro and cons of Python vs Java. But I regret everyday my taking care compiler / ide.
Simple syntax error like a missing bracket , a bad function description are enough to get a module unloadable by OpenERP. Things that would be immeidlately noticed with Netbeans online compile consume sometimes hours of vain and frustrating research....
This morning I found a good tool, similar to lint but for Python :
http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/
It really helps...

The ASF Resigns From the JCP Executive Committee
I think this is very bad news for Java supporters and users. Making the JCP process open, and making possible for multiple open-source implementations of the JVM/ JDK was the best guarantee of future for Java users and developers.

I regret this very much and hope that this will not impact hardly the future of excellent stuff provided by the Apache Software foundation - tomcat, Java DB, Velocity, Pivot, Log4J etc etc
For ope-source, community driven development, this type of news give them reason to stay away from the Java world...

Novell acquired by Attachmate
It sounds like the end of the dinosaurs. Novell pioneered a lot of stuff, LAN, network operating system, directory, xns, routing stuff... and much more. They built the first PC based enterprise products in my opinion.
They however always operated in an closed mode spirit. Getting spec from them was impossible for years. They were talented for secret and exasperating administrative process.And shame on them for what they did to Suse.
Why is attachmate buying them? Unclear to me. One thing is sure... I will not regret them.

OpenERP - various things
In average, the webinars organized so far were not an advertising for webex. Very poor sounds and high delays made these presentation real pains. It seems a part were from local settings... And unfortunately none of these sessions were recorder !
The last one, was probably the best (Oliver speak more slowly) and used slides instead of showing the real app. The result was much more acceptable.
http://www.slideshare.net/openobject/openerpv6technicalpresentation
I had a look at OERPScenario from camp2camp. This is a testing framework in "natural language". I agree on the target and the general concept. The implementation (in Ruby) annoys me more than anything else.
Natural language is in this case more regexp than anything else and require ... Ruby coding. If we augment the capacity of the system, we will have hundreds of sentence to know ... is that natural?
So, it remains that currently the framework provides very few objects and I have troubles to imagine a real test-driven project with this framework.
I will come back later on accounting stuff. V6 is for me the first release that can pretend deliver proper accounting functions (at least out of the box). I recommend following
OpenERP has changed its bug fixing policy, basically they are focusing on the trunk and fixes in stable are done only when reported through a maintenance contract. This is in theory to avoid regression. I think they also push the selling of the maintenance contract (legitimate target). My fear is that getting the next stable will take much more time on the other sides it encourages people to test during the Beta tests.

Joomla some problems with sh404sef and Joom!Fish
We are doing good progress with our new site. But I realized that the translation (I think language switching is more appropriate) does not work as expected. Typically the home page which is a category view does not translate...
I immediately suspected the combination of Joom!Fish and sh404sef as they both manipulate and interpret URL... Indeed to be compatible with another sef plugins you have to turn off the Joom!Fish plugins 'JFRouter'...
Everything is now back to normal.

Joomla - sh404sef - .htaccess - on Ubuntu 10
I am preparing our new web site for ADINS. We are migrating to a more recent Joomla version, plan to use Docman (document manager), Community builders (registration framework), FlexiContent (Content construction, tags etc) JoomFish (mult-language) and Kunena Forum.
Yesterday we started working with an external consultant for improving our Google rating.
Having nice url with the subject keyword is a first things to do. Joomla in standard helps a bit but the required component remains sh404sef (http://dev.anything-digital.com/sh404SEF/). With this component you can twist and maps url easily. sh404sef has also an inclusion of Google analytics (not tested yet).
On Apache (see for info http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/), proper URL relies on .htaccess. Joomla comes with a htaccess.txt file, renaming to .htacess should do the trick.
However I continued to get the 404 errors...
I checked, indeed sh404sef must be enabled with standard Joomla sef option.
I configured BaseRewrite to map my sub-directory with the being built web site.
I checked the presence of the mod_rewrite module (easy with webmin)...
Untill I found that the default site configured by the Ubuntu install does not let the distributed .htaccess file to be used.
The solution :
go to "/etc/apache2/sites-available".
- locate your site config file - in my case "default"
- change the AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.
- restart Apache and you are done...
