Ean,
I finally listened to this today as I was driving.
In general this was a great interview, hopefully we'll have some new
johns interested in the project... ;)
One little correction about the history: there wasn't actually a
company that initially funded OFBiz. It is true that I was involved
in a couple of companies that failed and that were trying to do
similar things to what OFBiz offered, but it was only after they went
belly-up that I got OFBiz going. So, basically Andy and I worked on
this as we could for about a year, then tried both working for a
company that wanted to invest in OFBiz and become a premier service
provider but that company was not well run so Andy and I jumped ship
after about 6 months there, and that is when we were able to start
doing consulting full time based on OFBiz. So, it took about 18
months to get OFBiz to the point where were could do consulting full
time based on it.
