Report for March 2010 for OFBiz (Open For Business) as a top level project.

The Apache Open For Business Project (Apache OFBiz) is an open source
enterprise automation software project. By enterprise automation we mean:
ERP, CRM, E-Business / E-Commerce, MRP, SCM, CMMS/EAM, and so on.

We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. However we know that there are some concerns about the OFBiz release strategy and we want to assure the Board that we are aware of the ASF policies about releases, that we are taking in serious consideration the concerns and in fact we are discussing a different release strategy that will work well for OFBiz and will be in line with the ASF policies.

Community and Project

  • Community interaction remains strong, user and dev mailing lists traffic is high, here are the number of subscribers to project mailing lists in early March:
    user@ofbiz.apache.org: 718
    dev@ofbiz.apache.org: 466
    commits@ofbiz.apache.org: 218
  • number of commits (from 2009-12-10 to 2010-03-10) is 1132
  • Significant new development continues, for highlights see: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Main+New+Features
  • Apache Commons has granted Adrian Crum (OFBiz PMC member) karma to move the OFBiz conversion framework to Apache Commons sandbox, with the goal being to have it replace their abandoned Convert project
  • Jacopo Cappellato has been voted new PMC Chair after the resignation from this role of David Jones; David is still actively involved in the project both as PMC member and committer

Infrastructure/Legal

  • We have recently completed the migration of all our resources to official ASF servers, managed by ASF Infra. However, because of the migration, we are still having some issues, but we are working with Infra to fix them (see Jira tickets INFRA-2483, INFRA-2482 and its subtasks)
  • We have also requested a legal advice for a minor license issue (see Jira ticket LEGAL-69)
  • No labels
