OFBiz at Apachecon Europe

Sharan-F
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

Hi Sharan, Divesh, All,

We currently have this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+track+@+Apachecon+EU+2014+in+Budapest%2C+Hungary+Nov+17th+-+Nov+19th+2014
in
the OFBiz Project Administration wiki

This page is a child of the Conference Planning page, which I believe
should all move to the more generic OFBiz wiki. Moving it there will lessen
the burden on committers to maintain these pages. It will also allow other
contributors to extend the pages with child pages regarding new events.

In the general OFBiz wiki Anahita has already created a placeholder
regarding here talk, see here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/ApacheCon+EU+2014+-+Introduction+to+a+Recommender+System+for+Apache+OFBiz

Also, Jacopo has created a page there regarding the subject of his talk,
and has recently attached his presentation to that. See here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Groovy+DSL+for+OFBiz+business+logic

And you can find my talk here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Brewing+with+OFBiz+-+a+case+study+by+Pierre+Smits

Re: OFBiz at Apachecon Europe

Gil Portenseigne
Hi all,

First Thanks for the sum-up work ! My time to feedback !

The apacheCon was great, i learned a lot About Apache software and the apache way,  I can only advice everyone to come to the next one !
It's a great oppotunity to meet people and to put a face onto the name we see daily, to discuss and to understand each one view points. That's good for the project life !

OFBiz presentations were interesting and comfort myself into my personal and professional project of life !
I hope that the audio recording of the conferences will be published soon to share a bit of the experience.

Then, i would like to complete wiki page with Olivier's presentation, if somebody could create an account for me it would be great !

Best Regards !

Gil

Hi Gil

It was good to meet you.

If you want to be able to edit the wiki then you need to

1. Create an account in confluence (so just access the wiki page and register)
2. When you have your username then post a message to the mailing list with your username and request to be a contributor.

I think normally Jacques will be able to modify the access for you.

Thanks
Sharan

Re: OFBiz at Apachecon Europe

In reply to this post by Sharan-F
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

Re: OFBiz at Apachecon Europe

anahita goljahani
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 you are a incorrigible optimistic, all person know that the
english word that out from my mouth it's a shame for the Shakespeare's
language.

Si je parlais anglais comme tu parles français, j'aurais vraiment moins
honte de moi !
