Comments :
- The objective of this question was to find out the profile of the people participating in the Community Day.
- The question was phrased specifically to identify End Users and Contributors as the previous community survey indicated the community profile was largely integrator based. Attracting more contributors and End Users is a key goal for the project.
Conclusions :
- The majority of respondents fell into the category of End User, Contributor and Integrator. This was expected based on the results of previous surveys showing a high integrator base.
- Five respondents classified themselves as Contributors Only. This is interesting because it indicates that people are willing to contribute to OFBiz even though their work may not be related to setting up OFBiz for other people. People in this category could also possibly be End Users also but the way the question was phrased didn't capture this.
- Out of our 16 respondents, 2 classed themselves as End Users only which highlights that we do have end users in community base that are active on the project.
- Out of the 16, 2 also classed themselves a possible future end users, contributors or integrators. This is positive because it shows that new people are still being attracted to project to investigate its use.
