  • The objective of this question was to find out what version of OFBiz was being used by the community and therefore give some insights on plans for supported releases
  • At the time of the survey 12.04 was the current stable release and these figures show that 37% respondents were using 12.04 or earlier
  • It would be interesting to understand why respondents are using these earlier releases - do they have problems with the upgrade path to 13.07 or is it that OFBiz is still performing what they need it to do?
  • The high number (63%) of people using 13.07 and the trunk (NOTE: At the time of the survey unstable versions) could be closely related to the fact that the community profile is integrator and consultant rather than end user. The means that these versions are likely used for development and customer specific implementation.

Conclusion

  • There is always a big focus on the trunk and latest branches. We also need to think about what support is available for earlier releases and have a clear plan as well as communication about when a version reaches its end of life.

Question 3: How did you install or implement Apache OFBiz?
