Too little news

I wonder why there are so few mainstream media news about Open Source ERP; even when some OSERP systems rank very high as the most active projects in sourceforge.

I have not read a single news about the topic during the whole week.

I am starting to think about two possible explanations:
  1. The market does not perceive the systems to be mature enough for serious consideration (as it has with Operating Systems or even Office Suites).
  2. The systems really aren't mature enough for serious consideration.

Have to be honest, i don't "Get" the concept of open source ERP.

Neither do a lot of people, thus the lack of news.

The cost of the initial software is only a fraction of the total cost of ownership why would you go the open source direction?
