Hi, with the pending graduation of OFBiz, there is some enthusiasm for talking it up. I've CC'ed the PRC, which is the group in Apache responsible for communications/PR sorts of things in order to see if they have any advice, since they have a few people who are professionals in that field, and volunteer some of their time with Apache.
Jacopo correctly notes that the graduation hasn't actually occurred yet, but I still think that some amount of noise wouldn't hurt. PR dudes, what do you think: a bit of noise now, more when the top level project is created and visible, and more when a release is cut, or more of a big-bang approach? However, I think it would also be a good idea to "manage expectations", as they say - OFBiz's code hasn't really changed from one day to the next, this is mostly an organizational milestone, so I'm not sure I would push the message of "go try OFBiz now". Perhaps Si's suggestion that simply writing about it on blogs is about the right level of "noise" at this point in time. Another avenue might be to talk with the feathercast (http://feathercast.org/) folks, who I have CC'ed as well, depending on their schedule. In any case, it's certainly noteworthy, and a lot of credit goes to the OFBiz guys for all the work they have done to make this happen. -- David N.
