No way to know for sure without contacting the owner.

To build a useful new group, you have to get people to join your group and that means doing some work to get content into your group and building a core group of contributors that recommend the group to other LinkedIn members.

Easier to join an existing group and post stuff there.

Ron,

I can understand that when talking about organisation specific support groups, and there are a few. But apart from these and the open groups, it seems to me that these closed groups were created to explore how far the OFBiz community extends in order to execute some marketing scheme (by its creator).

We can only guess about the intentions.

    Ron,

    In 2009 or thereabouts the PMC decided to adopt the Ubuntu way of
    numbering OFBiz releases. Since then every year in april a release
    was cut. But as the number of active committers is decreasing the
    time to release a cut takes more time. Last year broke with that
    policy, resulting in a release been cut with number 13.07.

        https://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html page needs updating.

        Is the 12.04.05 release date closer to being known?


        The description of the Release number says that release
        numbers consist of 2 parts

           "The naming convention for OFBiz releases is*<Major Release
           Number>.<Minor Release Number>"*
        but the releases seem to have 3 digits. Patch description missing.

        The 13.x.x series part of the page puzzles me.
        It seems to indicate that some early versions 13.0.0, 13.07.01
        should already be able to be downloaded.
        It also seems to indicate that the 13.x.x will be released in
        2014 which means that it should have a 14.x.x release number.

        I am not sure why a non-standard pattern of release
        identification was adopted but it is confusing and now
        inconsistent.
        It leads to the impression that the project is not active
        since it missed 2013 altogether.

        Would it not be possible/"good thing" to adopt a standard
        pattern of releases where the first digit indicates major
        change with some risk of serious work required to upgrade,
        second digit indicating significant new functionality but no
        change to the existing data structure or functions that are
        not changing and the last digits indicating a minor bug fix?
