Session Title: Collaboration on Requirements and Designs for Apache OFBiz

Session Code: TBD

Speaker: David E. Jones

Session Description: To date most of the collaboration in the OFBiz project has been on implementation. What to implement and how is frequently discussed, but there have been very few efforts to produce artifacts that represent requirements that can drive designs, and designs that can drive implementation. In this presentation David will offer an overview of UBPL, the HEMP artifacts it is based on, designs based on parts of UBPL and applications being developed based on those, and overlap analysis between UBPL and what exists in OFBiz. With these tools business people can directly participate in the project and developers can more effectively communicate and understand the context in which they are working. The result of these efforts will be software in the project that more directly meets the needs of a variety of end-users.

Target Audience: Anyone who cares about what is developed in OFBiz, regardless of preference to collaborate on requirements, designs, or implementation.

Session Title: Selling Open Source E-commerce and ERP

...

Target Audience: The session is intended for all users of OFBiz including developers, testers, and users. A knowledge of

Session Description:

This is a roundtable discussion focused around a few different aspects of the project and will provide an opportunity for people to share related ideas, become familiar with some of the ideas that have been discussed on the mailing lists and that people like or don't like. The goal will be to share experiences, opinions, and ideas about what opportunities are around and what sorts of tools and practices we can use to go after them.
