Hi Mathieu, All,
It's a heartbreaking news indeed.
We all followed progress the project made when you were active Mathieu. I for
one was hoping much from your changes.
Your departure will be a big loss not only for the project future but also for
the community!
I'm sad that "community over code" did not prevail.
That we did not get to a consensus, notably when it was about changes having no
direct impact to the OOTB code.
Clearly, the failure is from the community not yours. I take my part of
responsibility.

I second Nicolas opinion. I hope that we will evolve and that will allow
you to come back in the community in the future.
Let me thank you again for your time and kind help.

Hello,
As of today, I am resigning from my PMC and Committer role.
My initial involvement with OFBiz started in April 2018 as an internship
in the Néréide team to work on the support RESTful Web APIs. While
working on that topic I discovered soon enough that this objective would
take a very long time to achieve because of the huge technical debt that
has grown over time in the framework internals. Moreover I have
observed that my colleagues were swamped in the accidental complexity of
OFBiz (polyglot programming model, cumbersome DSLs, weak typing, ...)
which is impacting negatively their ability to deliver value to their
client.
Following those observations, I have spent a huge amount of my time
(including my weekends) trying to understand, remove, refactor existing
code to improve OFBiz simplicity which is a pre-requisite for staying
relevant in the future.
The recent events/discussions lead me to the conclusion that my efforts
towards the goal of simplifying OFBiz will simply not be able to succeed
due of the required slow review process and the global lack of
interest/consensus on that topic.
As a consequence I am unable to continue to participate positively in
this community anymore.
Kind regards,
