Abstract Summary: DevOps Environment for an OFBiz Agile Project

Working with any large IT project, you need to have good organisation, methods and infrastructure as well as manage all your stakeholders and keep them working well together.

With Apache OFBiz, all the same rules apply.

How can you configure Git/Svn, Jenkins and Docker to create an internal workflow capable of keeping multiple developers, system testers and other IT operations working in harmony together without any problems?

What about managing automated deployments with tests, such as regression and non-regression control?

In this presentation we will give you the answers to these question and show you what has been implemented for a French eCommerce company to improve our internal DevOps. We will also take you through some tips and tricks that we use to make the flows simpler and easier to maintain.

Abstract Summary: UX Design in OFBiz. How to make it a Reality!

The current 'out of the box' user experience (UX) for Apache OFBiz does very little to promote its adoption. This is because managing the user experience is not something that tends to be included as a project priority because it is expected that it will be tailored as part of each customer implementation.

This presentation will talk through the advantages of an intuitive interface using best practice UX design. We will also show that a well thought out user interface is just as important as an efficient engine or framework.

We will go through the main ergonomic problems of the current standard OFBiz interface and present an alternative example using practical UX design.

It will also be an opportunity to show some simple methods that can be used to maintain overall coherence of any software interface. We will also discuss some tools that can be used to help make this easier to achieve

Abstract Summary: It's OK - Consensu Reached. We've agreed to disagree!

The Apache Way tells us that we need to try and run our projects using consensus as much of possible – but what does it actually mean to the man or woman on the ground? Ask 5 different people what they understand by consensus you will probably get 5 different answers but that doesn't mean that we haven't achieved it.

Apache-OFBiz is a suite of enterprise applications built on a common architecture using common data, logic and process components. This means it can be used as an ERP, CRM, E-Business/E-Commerce, SCM, MRP, MMS/EAM, POS or just as a framework to build applications. Apache OFBiz includes two main tools to build application screens. These tools have been designed to render different kinds of screens and each have their own pros and cons. So when could it be better to use a faster and easier tool over a more complex but flexible one?

In this presentation, we will describe the technology around each of these tools, look at the most common screen types used and see how it is possible to combine them to create a UI standardIn this presentation Sharan will talk about about how becoming part of an Apache project has educated her about the role an use of consensus, and that applying it in real life can be a bit more challenging than the theory.
