ERPNext Foundation - Goals for 2018-19

Summary of 2017-18 Foundation Activities

It was decided that foundation resources should focus more and stability rather than adding features. Considering this, a lot of bugs were identified and fixed by Foundation developers Tunde, Vishal, Zarrar and Revant

Foundation COO Revant also started working on native mobile apps, a big gap identified by many users and these will be released in the next couple of months

Fundraising

In 2017-18 we were able to raise more than $50,000. Considering that we did not put in any additional effort to raise more funds, we should be able to raise more funds for this year with a dedicated staff.

This year foundation should also run specific crowd-sourcing campaigns for modules and facilitate pooling of funds from various users, who want the same set of features, localizations, integrations.
