Dev - Board report for OFBiz

[David Welton-2]

>>In any event, which 12 projects would like to volunteer to provide a brief

Let's go ahead and get this over with.  Given that OFBiz is new, it's a
good idea in any case.

OFBiz Status Report
===================

The OFBiz project has commenced incubation in a slow-but-steady way, as
can be seen here:

http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ofbiz.html

Most of the infrastructure is set up and waiting to be transitioned, but
the concensus seems to be to take things slowly.  There are a fair
number of people using the infrastructure, and making a mess of it for
very long would create problems for users.

All of the original committers bar Si Chen (who has sent his CLA in, and
is waiting for it to be processed) have got their accounts.

Work is ongoing to eliminate any LGPL code, although it appears there
are some technical obstacles:

http://lists.ofbiz.org/pipermail/dev/2006-March/010036.html

(I'm not much of a Java guy, so anyone willing to help out there is
welcome to have at it!)

In terms of collecting CLA's, there is a lot of work to be done, but the
OFBiz guys are chipping away at it:

For those interested in technical developments, Si Chen does a weekly
roundup of interesting changes here:

I'm happy with the progress so far.

Questions?  Comments?

Thanks,

David,

This looks good. For the license review it might also be good to include a link to this wiki page:

Thanks for getting this status report done.

David W.,

about the license review I think it would be nice to explain that we
have decided to read *all* the commit logs (CVS and SVN) in the history
of OFBiz to retrieve all the contributors (and we are contacting all of
them to get their iCLA signed).

The review of all the SVN commit logs (from rev. 1 to rev. 6980) is
completed; we are now processing the old CVS commit logs: the whole file
has 172876 lines and we have reviewed the first 87907.

Thanks,

Jacopo

I mentioned that to the incubator PMC.

Definitely keep following the strategy of going for the big fish
first, and worry later about the guy who submitted a 2 line patch
sometime in the 20th century.
