Owner of Informatic Applications
Marcelo Frare
IT consultant in Sacile, Italy. I have been installing and configuring Odoo Community with OCA modules since version 10. I have sat on the board of the Associazione Odoo Italia since 2019, I am an OCA member, and I coordinate the PNLUG Odoo group.
Curiosity led me to software back when computers were plugged into a black-and-white TV, through the antenna cable.
«Curiosity became passion, and passion became my trade.»
The path so far
A background in the Microsoft world, then the choice of free software. For about ten years it has been the only thing I work with.
- 2026
Odoo Community in the age of AI
I talk about it to businesses alongside the LibreOffice Conference in Pordenone, and on October 24 I teach in the business software track at Linux Day.
- 2025
The Italian localization
Re-elected to the board, I follow the association's project to improve Italian accounting in Odoo, version after version.
- 2024
OCA Days, Liège
I bring the international community a proposal on how to organize the repositories: one public, one for members.
- 2022
Sprint Days in Pordenone
I organize the association's two-day development sprint at the Polo Tecnologico in Pordenone.
- 2019
The Odoo Italia board
I join the board of the Associazione Odoo Italia. In March the Odoo group hosts a development sprint on the 3D view in Pordenone.
- 2018
The PNLUG Odoo group
I become its coordinator. The group builds Ordina Facile, which that summer handles the orders of four village food festivals.
- 2017
First time on stage
At the Open Design Conference in Pordenone, with Andrea Piovesana: Odoo, its technical foundations and its way of thinking.
- 2016
Odoo, since version 10
Since then I have been installing and configuring Odoo Community with OCA modules for small and medium businesses.
- 1982
My first computer
A ZX Spectrum, plugged into the family TV. That is where it all starts.
Open code
What I write, anyone can read.
On GitHub I have reviewed more than 120 pull requests in the OCA repositories, most of them in the Italian localization: e-invoicing, VAT registers, declarations of intent. For the PNLug Odoo group I wrote the OCA module mgmtsystem_nonconformity_hr, available from version 12 to 19, and the first stock_close_period for inventory closing, later carried on by the community.
The rest is better in person.
Call or write: the person who answers is the one who does the work.
