Topics

French Certification of Dolibarr system for France by LNE

First version of documents (version 1.1) has been transferred to LNE the 4th of November

400 hours spent for documentation (update Wiki, update foundation status, update certificate documents available at https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr-foundation/tree/develop/doc/Certification) versus 180h of development. It also includes install and setup of Digiquali to record the 146 items of the certification requirement, all referenced in the .odt documentation produced (around 500 pages)

Current STEP:

=> Waiting the LNE organization feedback to plan a date for the "Certification dry run". We hope to know the date before end of january

Brand protection actions

Brand monitoring and action on infringing sites/companies

1 - The web site DolibarrStore.com has been completely closed in january, after Dolibarr foundation legal action and domain is now owned by Dolibarr foundation.

2 - Subject about forked modules is new priority: Rules on how DoliStore manage forks have been clarified in Conditions and Terms of Use for resellers (CGV):

       FR : https://www.dolistore.com/conditions-generales-dutilisation_vendeurs-de-modules.php
       EN : https://www.dolistore.com/terms-and-conditions-of-use-module-providers.php?l=en

The rule S4 and S5 for module providers have been completed and clarified. This is the clarified version to explain:

  • How the Dolibarr foundation manage the duplication (fork) of modules
  • To clarify that Online selling services (alone) or installation or training services (alone) is now clearly forbidden. Instead, for "training", the provider can promote its service on a new page on the web site that will be created with a dedicated landing SEO related to training => TODO.
  • Remind to not do GPL violations.

=> TODO FHE: Prepare mailing to all Dolistore module provider to alert that there is a change in CGV. Provider with a module that violates GPL and that are fork of another module still online have 2 month to disable their modules.

=> A new feature has been added into DoliStore to ask to enter the external cost when a module need an external cost like a subscription to an online platform.


Current process with websites that use illegally Dolibarr trademark (in domain name or company name) is on process.

The generic email to sent to each contact that does not follow the rules on using the Dolibarr trademark has been validated by the lawyer.

This is the list of other known case:

DoliStore

The foundation can also reduce the current discount of 20% to lower amount for members.

  • 1st January 2027, the discount of DoliStore modules for foundation members will be 10 %


New amount for contribution to Preferred Partner
