This report, for June 2007, is the first quarterly report (following the initial 3 monthly reports) for OFBiz (Open For Business) as a top level project.

The Open For Business Project (Apache OFBiz) is an open source enterprise automation software project. By enterprise automation we mean: ERP, CRM, E-Business / E-Commerce, MRP, SCM, CMMS/EAM, and so on.

We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time.

Community:
- two new PMC members have been voted in and are now listed in the committee-info.txt file: Jacquest Le Roux and Scott Gray; I believe we followed all procedure on this, though we never heard anything back from the board (which from what was described in the PMC guide seems fine, ie there were no objections)
- one PMC member (Si Chen) has resigned, but he is remaining involved with the project and is still a committer; the reasons for this are not totally clear but it appears to stem from a conflict of interest between his involvement in management of OFBiz and his running a dual licensed (Honest Public License (HPL, GPL-like non-OSI license) and commercial) package called Opentaps that is a derivative work of OFBiz; this appears to have been peacefully resolved and while Si has not been very vocal about his thoughts on it, the situation doesn't seem to be affecting the development or progress of the project or development of the community and polite collaboration
- we have discussed aligning the PMC more with those most active in the project, mainly because many votes only had participation of the 3 PMC members; it was discussed a lot but for now we have decided not to ask the less active PMC members to make any changes; so far the only action taken has been to add the two new PMC members mentioned above, both of whom are very active in the project; as other committers show more activity we will make other adjustments and vote in additional PMC members
- three new committers (Anil Patel, Joe Eckard, and Adrian Crum) have been voted in and have SVN commit access, Jira access, and so on setup
- we may add more new committers in the near future, but the emphasis right now is on helping the new committers get up to speed and become more involved

Project:
- a vote for a release branch for OFBiz 4.0 passed on April 23rd and the branch was created soon after; the release plan for OFBiz is available here: http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/1wE; according to this plan it will stabilize for probably another month and then we will create the first binary release for the 4.0 branch
