Hello,
I was recently offered to become a committer for OFBiz and I accepted.
I believe this was either because you enjoy my long emails or you dred
them and decided to let me push my changes without bothering you :).
Whatever the motive, you have my gratitude.
Now onto OFBiz-niss :
I plan to do ~ 1 commit / month to OFBiz.
I have a todler and enjoy his company very much but that comes with
limitted time for other things so this is what I can do for now.
My goals have not changed and I would like to start contributing to that
direction.
I will strive to make a small PR / month ask it for review and then
merge it.
I saw 24.09 was branched as stable and I guess trunk is up for merges
(grabs).
My long term goal:
I will work to improve OFBiz project structure and split it into
libraries that compound to an application so I and others can host and
extend it with ease.
On the way I hope so improve/fix some/all of the issues bellow, and
others (random order):
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12308
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12263
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12401
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9498
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10407
For the short term goal, I will break the large PR in smaller pieces so
they are easier to review
https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/pull/678 .
I believe I managed to get 3 libraries, so I expect to have ~ the same
in the end.
- base/crypto
- base/util
- components/datafile
The libraries should probably be published so they can be used in
external projects and OFBiz plugins.
After that the project will extensive changes to break the cyclic
dependencies.
Thank you for your confidence.
I hope we can make OFBiz great for everyone.
Regards,
Eugen
