I was not trying to complain. However, I don’t think it’s doable to say “just post something” instead of having a coordinated plan, especially for newer people (such as me) who want to help but don’t really know how to or what the message should be.
But yeah, I suppose debate is over now.
I completely agree with your sentiment regarding LinkedIn’s importance for business. Tryton ERP is inherently business-oriented, and that’s precisely why a strong presence on a platform like LinkedIn is crucial.
While it’s true that those who specifically seek out open-source solutions often appreciate the “less eye-candy, more substance” approach, the reality is that businesses trust other businesses, and in our ecosystem, that often means trusting Tryton distributors. This is where the project’s true strength lies: its usability and practical application, not just its testability.
My own company, for instance, operates successfully with Tryton ERP as a cost-effective solution. However, we’ve found that potential clients, particularly entrepreneurs, are more likely to discover and engage with a robust and visible presence on a platform where they conduct their business research.
You hit on a critical point: you found Tryton because you were actively testing software. The challenge, and our opportunity, is visibility. Many businesses won’t actively seek out an open-source ERP unless they already know it exists. By fostering a stronger community presence, particularly on LinkedIn, we can reach a wider audience of entrepreneurs and companies who would benefit immensely from Tryton’s capabilities.
As per its own definition, “TRYTON® is business software, ideal for companies of any size, easy to use, complete and 100% Open Source.” To truly embody this, Tryton needs to be visible where businesses are looking for solutions. It’s not about becoming a “commercial brand” in the traditional sense, but about being recognized as the sustainable and scalable project it is, benefiting the entire community.
Well contrary to some guy in the USA, I must confess that we don’t have a concept of a plan 
.
So if you or @csotelo are able to come up with some and then make some proposals you can be pretty sure that people will take a look at it. We’re in a kind of do-ocracy here.
My proposal, if the foundation and project allow, is for me to manage Tryton’s LinkedIn page directly. I’m not suggesting hiring a marketing agency; my aim is simply to establish a consistent presence and provide support for all the entrepreneurs currently working with Tryton ERP, helping them gain visibility. I’m fully aware that “Tryton” is a registered trademark and that there’s a dedicated board behind it, which is precisely why I propose a coordinated effort.
I’m confident that this will lead to greater opportunities for both the project and the community. My plan involves a weekly post focused on building community and brand awareness, actively seeking interaction with companies, users, and developers who leverage Tryton.
I will submit your request to the board.
Meanwhile you can still contribute to Communication · GitLab to add more tips, to support linkedin and to improve/extend the success stories.
I just would like to add that it already is easy to help Tryton and spread its ideal over the world. Last year, we agreed on some marketing ideas (start here Tryton Marketing (Masterpost) ), so it’s easy to do own posts with relation to the Tryton project. We do that with posts including “Tryton powered” on each image and movie. Check out
Many thanks for your efforts in Peru and all around the world!
