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.
