Update improvements OFBiz/BI Component - Q&A Session

[Pierre Smits-3]

Hi All,


Over the past month(s) I have worked to improve the BI Component to move it
from a state of Proof of Concept to a state of being actually useful for
our adopters. The changes implemented make it so that it is new good enough
to be incorporated into the code base.

I can imagine that the volume of subtasks created/addressed under
OFBIZ-11414

in
JIRA and committed in  PR #11
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-plugins/pull/11&sa=D&ust=1588146198890000&usg=AOvVaw25pcMSL2jYs3GF08vNGK1Z>
in
Github makes it a bit hard to assess where we stand now regarding the
component.

Therefore I will be holding a live Q&A session (in Google Hangout/Meet) to
give an explanation and answer any question that may pop up, along
following subjects (amongst others, subject to change):

   1. Purpose of the Component
   2. Current State, see https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/bi
