Less meaning? Why?
Because it has been superseded by the Apache brand. IMO, if the Apache
brand catches on, then the ofbiz.org brand will fade. And we all want
the Apache brand to succeed. That ofbiz.org does not (and should not)
compete with Apache is a good thing. Better to just put it to rest and
be done with it. I'm not against ASF having it, I just wanted to
continue to market and push it as a complement to the ASF brand.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
One thing I would like to mention (for the benefit of any newcomers) is
that OFBiz joined the ASF for these reasons:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html#why
As a relatively small community it was a smart move to place ourselves
under the ASF umbrella because it relieved us of the legal and financial
burdens mentioned in the FAQ. I don't believe anyone in the community
saw that change as a way to relinquish the OFBiz brand and replace it
with Apache. On that point you are completely wrong.
