In past maybe we have tried to do too much (tried to do it all at once - which is why we find it hard to focus). Suggestion

• One suggestion was to set a maximum of 3 goals and then work only on these. To define these goals we need to look at what is the most important thing that we want to achieve - and base them on that.

...

• Another suggestion was that the most important thing for the project is driving adoption. If this is true then what are the key blockers that stop user adoption of OFBiz? (the UI!) 

...

• Suggestion to organise / setup teams from the community that focus on specific areas (e.g. workgroups) - this could really help progress

Strategy Ideas

If the UI was the main focus - what could the strategy look like

...

• Framework with applications
• Advanced UI but without all features
• Advanced UO features but with the poor UI

If this is the way we want to go - do we have to start from scratch?  

...

• move the theme material from framework to theme
• User new web technologies (AngularJS, etc)
• Additional note from Nicolas Malin

apachecon for the imperious to create a common theme that will be 
receive all standard technical rendering and common screen to offer more 
powerful on theme.

I started with success a POC on my github 
https://github.com/nmalin/ApacheOFBiz/tree/common-theme and we will open 
a issue about this.
The works isn't finish but I'm sure we are on a good way :)

Write specifications to get consensus

ACTION POINTS:

Start mailing list discussions on the following:

•  Project Strategy and Roadmap: Discuss what the most important thing for the project is at the moment, setting goals, organisation of work teams and breakdown / allocation of work, setup of any guidelines / charters / policies
•  User Interface: Having two versions of UI, a simple default one for users and a more advanced one (eg what we have now) as a reference for developers and service providers.)
•  OFBiz Meetups: Is there any interest in organising an OFBIz meetup in India and/or Europe for 2017?
