How is it working?
The Association provides
financial, organizational and

Open Source community. It also
serves as an independent legal
entity to which community
members can contribute to the
code, funding and other resources
with the knowledge that their
contributions will be maintained for
public benefit.

11. Business-Topic Teams
A business-topic team is a team whose members are interested in one specific
business topic, such as, Accounting, CRM, Sales, Marketing, E-commerce, HR,
Manufacturing, Logistics, Procurement & Purchase…
One team can have one or many repositories where each repo focuses on one sub-
topic. For example, the Accounting team has some repositories like Budgeting,
Analytic Accounting, Billing, Billing Reports, Consolidation, Sage Connector...

12. Localization Teams
Each localization team is responsible to develop and maintain the specific features
for each country.
● This team also acts as a centre point to support the local community to grow
steadily and help them identify the possible legal changes that can impact the
community.
● Examples: Brazil, France
There are currently 35 countries*, including Indonesia and Cambodia but not
Vietnam :|
● Update: A team for Vietnam is created on April 3rd, 2017 following a request
of Jean-Charles Drubay <jcdrubay@gmail.com>

13. Vertical-Interest Teams
Each vertical-interest team focus on all business topics which are relevant and
mandatory for an industry. For examples, Education, Agriculture, Construction…
Together with the related business-topic teams and localization teams, the
vertical-interest teams allow the companies in an industry quickly adopt Odoo
into their operations without spending a huge cost for customizations.

14. Team Org. - Contributors (to continue)
A contributor is anyone who wants to contribute (code, documentation, tests,
ideas, anything!) to any OCA project hosted here at the Odoo Community
Association (OCA). He's generally subscribed to the contributors@ mailing list.
Note: if you are interested in contributing financially, please see the sponsorship
program page.

15. Team Org. - Project Steering Committee (PSC)
● Is a committee in charge of managing projects for the Odoo Community
Association (OCA)
● The role of the PSC from an association perspective is oversight.
○ The main role of the PSC is not to code - but to ensure that all legal issues are
addressed, that procedures are followed, and that each and every
release is the product of the community as a whole. That is key to our
litigation protection mechanisms.
○ Secondly, the role of the PSC is to further the long term development and
health of the community as a whole, and to ensure that balanced and
wide scale peer review and collaboration do happen. The OCA encourages
large teams to promote efficient collaboration and avoid community centered
around only a few individuals. We believe that this is detrimental to quality,

16. Team Org. - OCA Representative
The OCA representative is appointed by the Board from the PSC Members. The
PSC as a whole is the entity that controls and leads the project. The OCA
Representative is the interface between the Board and the Project. OCA
Representative have specific duties.
