THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
Apachecon EU 2014 in Budapest, Hungary was a great success. Not only regarding meeting community members and learn about each others differences in a softer setting, but also in respect to new people interested in the result of what the community does.
Next year there will be a new Apachecon event being held in Austin, Texas (The U.S. of A), and of course it will present us - again - with the opportunity to meet new users and contributors. It also creates the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss issues and showcase application areas, features and functionality of OFBiz.
We'd like to try and prepare for talks across a wide range of areas so that we will have a good mix of topics. Some possible categories could be:
- Introduction (e.g. to ofbiz in general or a specific application, the framework and services, where we are and state of the project)
- Business (e.g. how OFBiz is being used and which industries, etc)
- Technical (e.g. Tools, Extentions, Configuration)
- Development (e.g. getting started, building a new application, modifiying an existing one,)
- Case Study/User Story (e.g. implementation story, challenges and successes etc)
- Panel Discussion (e.g. Open source ERP vs Commercial etc)
- Tutorial (NOTE: No official Tutorials planned for Austin although tutorial sessions can be run using the presentation sessions eg. 2 slots)
- Wildcard
If you interested in submitting or presenting a talk about what you have done with OFBiz - whether as an enhancement, a case study or something else - please feel free to add a line to following table and add a child page with the abstract and main points.
If you have an idea for a topic but want to have some help (in preparing or presenting) please mention that on your child page and start a discussion in the OFBiz user forum to let people know about your idea and need for a partner.
