The two discussions will continue on a Sinsheim place (restaurant, bar, ..., not yet choose) I give you the details as soon as I have it ;-) - Nov. 8, 2012 from 12:30pm to 01:30pm : Multi-Store eCommerce with Apache OFBiz done by Sebastian Leitner and Sascha Rodekamp This presentation will shows you, how to run multiple shops on one instance of OFBiz. - Nov. 8, 2012 from 01:30pm to 02:30pm : Multi resource Project Scheduling with OFBiz done by Cheikh Dhib This presentation will show how OFBiz project component is used to demonstrate result of a Phd thesis on "Multi-skilled resource mono-skill task project scheduling".

It's possible to organize a ofbiz hackathon, on Monday 5th November if we are enough people : who plan to come ? I think it's a very good place to have meeting for all European OFBiz contributors and all the others of course but travel is more complicated. Next ApacheCon US will be in a nice place but at a very long distance from Europe. I think contributions are always better when people have meet other contributors face to face :-) I proposed to organize 2 or 3 meeting for all present people, to have time to discuss on main OFBiz subject : slim-down, ofbiz-extra, ofbizAlliance, increase collaboration, contribution, .... - Tuesday 6th evening - Wednesday 7th lunch Time - Wednesday 7th evening These meeting could be discussion or if needed some training of technical point, agenda will be done at the beginning depending on who is present. Say me (directly or on this mailing list) who will be attendee and which subject would be interesting and/or important. If you are not yet registered, it's not too late go to http://www.apachecon.eu/tickets/ and all details to organize travel is at http://www.apachecon.eu/venue/ See you soon at Sinsheim Olivier Le 16/10/2012 16:19, Nick Burch a écrit : > Hi All > > As you'll hopefully all know, ApacheCon Europe kicks off in 3 weesk > time!

Hi *,
I would like to share my experiences from the ApacheCon EU in Sinsheim with you. The conference was fully booked and most of the people where interested in topics like BigData, Search or Databases. The OFBiz talks were also well attended. It turned out that many of the listeners are evaluating the system at the moment and they took this chance to ask questions. One point, which we had to discuss several times, is the complexity of the backend and the missing marketing. We had a really great time in Sinsheim, pretty good food and a lot of interesting discussions. Many thanks to Sebastian, Paul, Olivier, Nicolas for your talks. We should upload our slides and the photos von Christian ASAP.

AW: OFBiz track at ApacheCon Europe in 2 weeks
|
In reply to this post by Jacopo Cappellato-4
Hi guys,
Perhaps also a small word from my end - I personally attended Nov 7th only, so I am sure there is a lot been covered that I haven't personally experienced (maybe the others can fill in some information there). During the course of the day we had 3 OFBiz Tracks: * One on how to manage OFBiz Addons (Nicolas - Nereide) * One general Introduction to OFBiz and a discussion on our target group (Myself - Paul) * One on OFBiz Extras - its purpose and a proposal (Olivier) As a short wrap-up to those: OFBiz Addons: Nicolas showed us a tool for the management of Patches. The tool has been developed by Nereide and had been used en large internally before. Command-based at this moment, it already features some great methods for merging, applying, and managing different patches. Personally most striking was the idea of perhaps making use of this tool as part of OFBiz in order to manage different installations. There was a debate afterwards on whether or not this could be used as a means of automatically installing directories as well and the idea was raised to incorporate this into an OFBiz Extras project. General Introduction to OFBiz & target group: I gave a general overview on the system, before arguing for a proper target group for it. During the track I covered the general size of the project and its implication to corporate sizes which want to make use of it. It was proposed that our target group was mostly "mid- to largesize" businesses, due to the complex nature of the system. We then went on to have a debate on how to properly address the target group. The following steps were proposed: 1. Rescope the backoffice for different target groups, 2. Redefine the framework structure (OFBiz Extras), 3. Simplify the CMS, 4. Show less make it usable, 5. Keep the target group in mind with marketing material (developers & companies) OFBiz Extras: Olivier covered the need for an additional subproject "OFBiz Extras" in which all supplemental applications should be made part of. The idea is to strip any unnecessary part from the OFBiz framework and focus with OFBiz on the core framework. OFBiz Extras would then contain all applications based upon it. The presentation then went on to propose a system of automatic checks on how to govern the applications. The system would be mostly based on project maturity, code quality (based on automated tests) and documentation. In a heated debate afterwards, the concern was raised to handle this outside the OFBiz core as part of a non-apache project. The concern was made that by stripping core functionalities outside of OFBiz the commiting parties would participate less to it and the ingenuitiy of OFBiz may get lost. All in all, everyone agreed, however, that a subproject of sorts could be beneficial to the overall project scope. Afterwards some of the OFBiz specialists that were available sat down for a private evening discussion. In it we discussed "OFBiz Alliance" and its implication to the community if it were to happen. The companies at present agreed to contribute more to the community - in particular marketing material which could be used by the general public.

Re: OFBiz track at ApacheCon

Hi,
All conference have been recorded and all slides centralized, so, some link to be able to view each presentations will be available. The Organization was great, thank you to them. it should be at http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/ During this ApacheCon, we had great discussion. It's very nice to, sometime, to able to talk face to face and having time to share ideas and to compare our activities understanding or our way of using and contributing to OFBiz. For this OFBiz track there was two talk type : - realization done with ofbiz (and howto used) - addon manager - eCommerce multistore - CRM - OFBiz evolution idea/proposition/discussion - OFBiz functions and advantages versus target group - OFBiz-extra for what, which quality criteria I think it was good to have these two types, maybe a third type, Tutorial, will be a good thing too. Personally I attended some Apache OpenOffice talk, because some of their questions of AOO community are the same as ofbiz community (ex: how to build/ to share marketing support ? does the apche solution should be a OOTB solution or a super-framework for integrator to help us to propose OOTB solution for their customers, ....). Very Interesting discussion too ;-) and some Apache-way rules to better understanding how to better contribute. :-) About ApacheCon-NA, is there a lot of "talk proposal" proposed ? is there some people who are already sure to attend ?

Thks all for your return.
I adding just tracks on lucene and solr that giva me the idea to implement lucene to resolve on an entity by their functionnal environment. A research on party would be use lucene to run a quick search on index created by Party Role, Party Content, Party Identification, Party Skill, etc ... Same on product or WorkEffort. For addons, I prepare to put my demo on wiki.

Hi Olivier and everyone,
I did some exploration to try and find the videos of the presentations. It seems to be they haven't been published yet. However, here are the places I think we need to watch... http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/07-Wednesday/L2L-Web_Infra/ http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/08-Thursday/L2L-Linked_Data_and_OfBiz/ If I have that wrong and they're somewhere else, or if anyone notices that content has appeared in these folders, please tell the mailing list. Thanks Paul Foxworthy
