Jacopo,
That's great, thank you for taking the time to start this summary.As I understand it I am ultimately responsible for reporting to the board, so I'll start with this take care of the rest. They have automated notices for these, which is pretty cool, and I have already received the one for the January report. I'll be reviewing the instructions related to that, and it will be interesting doing our first report... Just as in the incubator it looks like we will have one report per month for the first 3 months, and then once each quarter after that.
On a side note, thanks again Jacopo for your efforts in keeping the incubation status page updated, and in taking care of the reporting during the incubation process. I welcome your continued involvement in this and as I go through the first pass I'll look for a way to make this more collaborative, perhaps using a page on docs.ofbiz.org to maintain draft reports and comments.
BTW, the Developers Conference is not really an official ASF conference or event, but rather just an event that Hotwax is sponsoring in order to further collaboration and help move the community forward and so on. In the past the Users Conferences have been similar: someone in the community proposes the conference and coordinates it with others in the community and simply invites any who would like to attend. Going forward we plan to continue similarly, and of course in addition to any such events also participate in ApacheCon and where possible other things such as OSCON, etc.
