Hi all,
I hope it's not too late to share a couple of thoughts.
There isn't much to add to what already written by my conference mates, but
there is one thing I would really like to share. It is about how warmly
and nicely I was welcomed by the OFBiz group as a newcomer.
They are all skilled, enthusiastic and dedicated professionals and I'm sure
they are only a representative sample of the brilliant community that
supports OFBiz.
It didn't take long to me (and I think also to the others) to understand
that together, as a group, we were much more than each of us alone. I was
the last to present on Monday and when, at the end, I saw Sharan, Pierre,
Jacopo, Olivier, Gil, Nicholas and Youssef still there with me, after all
the other people had left the room, I felt how rewarding and reassuring is
to be part of a 'community'.
I think that OFBiz is a great project and has the potential to be even
more successful than it is right now. If I were David Jones, I would be
really proud to be the one who gave rise to all this!
Kind regards
Anahita
P.S. I will shortly attach the code illustrated in my presentation to the
wiki page at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/OYPfAg
Divesh, thank you for your congratulations!

Hi All
See below for my thoughts and feedback on Apachecon last week. It was an
amazing experience to see so many people that are involved with Apache as
well as OFBiz in one place.
Monday (the OFBiz track day) was the very intense. In the morning most of
us
met each other face to face for the first very time and straightaway we
found that we could sit down and start discussions on a range of topics.
As
the only native English speaker I must admit that I was impressed by
everyone's language ability!
My presentation was the first (so I was a bit aprehensive) but like all the
presentations that day – raised questions for discussion.
I think one of the most surprising things that came out of my presentation
was that the host of the talk (a committer from the FreeBSD project) spoke
to us about the problems he had as a potential new user trying to download,
setup and use OFBiz. We would have probably never got this feedback if he
hadnt been assigned to host our talk.
Just for information - here are the attendance stats.
- I think my talk attracted 8 people
- Pierre's talk attracted 11 people
- Jacopo's talk attracted 11 people
- Olivier's talk attracted 16 people
- Nicolas and Gil's talk attracted 11 people
- Anahita's talk attracted 27 people
On Tuesday we attended some other tracks and I hosted the talk for
committer
on the Tomcat project (so someone good to know). I also went to see a talk
on Trademarks and Branding so this is as task that I'd like to do a bit
more
about just to make sure that the OFBiz brand is not being misrepresented.
On Wednesday afternoon we all decided to hold a bit of a workshop to talk
about OFBiz and what our ideas are now and for the future. It was really
interesting to hear everyone's vision of the project and how they wanted it
to be. We identified a range of areas and some proposals that we'd like to
consult the community about. I am in the process of writing up the minutes
and summarising the range of proposals that came out of that meeting so
will
share that with the mailing list via a different thread.
On Thursday a lot of us attended the Barcamp which was a specific forum for
asking questions and getting feedback from other Apache projects. Any topic
could be raised and we had some great discussions around How Apache works,
Git vs SVN, PMC roles, Updating other people's code without offending them,
etc.
It was a very busy week and I think I can speak for everyone when I say
that
we also had a lot of fun too.
Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks
Sharan

Hi All
We've been having a busy week at Apachecon in Budapest and I'm sure that
the people that attended will be posting their updates about it soon.
I just wanted to let the community mailing list know that I think the
OFBiz track was a success (our biggest session was Anahita's where 27
people came along!)
As well as running our own track, meeting each other for the first time,
attending some other sessions, we found some time to hold a round table
session to talk about some project related topics. I will be summarising
our discussions and post these here - I think we have some great
potential
proposals that we'd like to consult the community about.
More news coming soon!
Thanks
Sharan
