The campaign ends in 1 week but looking at the progression rate, it does
not seem we will succeed. This makes us quite disappointed at B2CK as we
were relying on this revenue for 2018.
B2CK spent more than 10% of its revenue to support and maintain Tryton.
This work include: preparing releases, fixing reported bugs, cleaning
code, upgrading new dependencies, publishing news, answering questions
etc.
But without this revenue for 2018, we will have to reduce drastically
our free contribution and focus only on our paying customers.
For the record, B2CK business model has always aimed to be a second
level support for other IT companies (even if we do some
implementations). Our offer is divided into two kind of services:
development packs and support contracts.
The support contract goal is to finance the maintenance tasks that we
perform on Tryton. But unfortunately, we fail to sale any of those
insurance contracts. We sale only development packs.
To workaround this issue, we used to make crowd-funding on important
maintenance task (ex: web client, GTK+-3). This is not a perfect
solution but for now it worked as it allowed us to keep pushing the
development.
So if you value the B2CK's work on Tryton and want to see it continue,
now is the time to contribute to the campaign:
