Adrian suggested to use the ASF Jira (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ) to handle the communication between the persons interested working
on mixing OFBiz with Activiti

OFBiz uses EDA as explained in the link above. Jira workflow is limited to transitions between status. Activiti is a real workflow engine

First of all ignore the smoke screens of mister Pierre , who is very
good in that , I have to admit.

some time time ago, we issues the following message:
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Discussion-BPM-Activity-org-and-OFBiz-td4654240.html

so if you would like to join, let me know....

Hi Varun,
Please have a look at
https://gerrit.antwebsystems.com/#/admin/projects/workflow

We have the following plan:
1. create a ofbiz component containing activiti so replacing shark
      a. make activiti working within OFBiz
      b. make bpmn xml working as xpdl previously worked.
2. make it available on a demo internet site
3. create some demo data to show how ERP can operate using BPM as frontend.

so please join our activities.....
