Meeting Minutes

Participants: Taher Alkhateeb, Ron Wheeler, Gil Portenseigne, Nicolas Malin, Kulwant Singh, Deepak Dixit, Sharan Foga, Jacopo Cappellato, Jacques Le Roux

We started the call with basic introductions and then a discussion of the agenda.

Proposed Scope of Work

Taher began by talking about

• previous project initiatives that haven't progressed because they were seen by the community as too hard to do

• the fact that the community would also like to improve OFBiz and innovate, but before we can innovate, we need to tidy up and clean up the code

• that a framework re-factor will hard but essential to the future of OFBiz

As a framework re-factor will be a lot of work

• breaking the work up into bite-size chunks could be a good solution

• by keeping it simple we could actively manage it and also attract people from the community to help because the workload may not seem so overwhelming

The general feedback to these points were that everyone agreed that the re-factoring would be a good thing and that it would bring benefits to the project.
