Hi Jacques
I'm helping out at Apachecon in Seville so havent had much time to
follow the mailing lists. I've included some responses below:
I cross posted this for several reasons.
*
This is an informational message and not a discussion thread
*
All the changes done by these teams benefit our users so it made
sense to me to let our users take a look at what has been done and
be able to vote for or rate teams that have implemented the features
they like
*
Developer based questions are sometimes raised on our user list
instead of our dev list, meaning that some of our technical
community prefer using our user list rather than the dev one, so the
message would reach them too
I disagree that giving an opinion or rating to the teams is clearly
technical. Each of the teams have prepared a report summarising what
they have done. Everyone is free to rate the teams based on their own
criteria. If you want to rate them based on their coding techniques then
you are free to do that and if someone else wants to rate them based on
the features they have implemented then in my view that is also
perfectly acceptable. This is an award where the OFBiz community choose,
so why limit that to only developers when the work being done affects
our user base too.
Remember that this OFBiz Premier League initiative was open to anyone
from the OFBiz community – so anyone could have formed a team and become
involved. It just so happened that no-one else did.
Also as I'd put together all the community surveys and had access to the
tool, I was asked if I could create one to rate the teams, so it also
made sense to for me send out the communications as well as the survey
links. (So in response to your question No – I am not working for Hotwax)
I think that we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that everyone in the
teams did these contributions in their own free time as individuals who
wanted to contribute to OFBiz and not as paid Hotwax employees. If this
was a paid effort instead of a voluntary effort, then I would probably
have a different view but this is something that was done voluntarily
for the community by other members of the community and to me that is
all that counts.
Thanks
Sharan

Hi Divesh, Sharan, Pierre,
First I think it's better to not cross post this thread, and it seems
it's best placed here, in dev ML. Because, if we expect a realistic
result, reviewing the work done by the HotWax team and giving an
opinion about it is clearly technical!
This said, it was already an overwhelming task to review the work done
by the HotWax team (thanks you all!) and I don't think much people
will have the time to seriously decide which team did the best work.
Sorry but I'll not. Maybe inside HotWax it's easier to decide, so
maybe Jacopo, Anil, Scott and maybe some others I miss (sorry for you
guys, you are so many) will because they did not participate and I
guess it was on purpose?
About Pierre's answer, I must say I was also surprised that Sharan and
not someone from HotWax asked for feedback. Because her questions were
already quite organised.
This is minor regarding the question, but maybe Sharan you are
officially working with HotWax now?
Anyway thanks to all who worked on these issues, improving OBFiz is
always a good aim and your effort was quite impressive! We have still
300 new issues waiting now ;)

Pierre,
Instead of taunting, you should understand the bigger cause for what
Sharan
is doing it. Overall OPL effort and involving others community
members in
it is for bigger cause and sake of OFBiz and its community.
Thanks

Hi Everyone
(I'm posting this on both user and dev lists).
The Hotwax Systems teams desperately need your help! Why? Because
their
OFBiz Premier League (OPL) competition ended this month. Details
can be
found at http://opl.ofbiz.us/)
Six teams were competing for points to improve OFBiz by contributing
ideas, code, documentation, developments and bug fixes. On 5th
November
2016 - the 6 month time period ended and now feedback from all the
OFBiz
Community is needed to choose the team that will receive the
'Reviewers
Choice Award'. (Note: The Reviewers are the OFBiz Community :-) )
The 6 teams were :
*
Team-1 - MV Controller
*
Team-2 - OFBiz Fanatics
*
Team-3 - OFgrammers
*
Team-4 - OS Biz Contributor
*
Team-5 - OS Code Breakers
*
Team-6 - SO Architects
Each team has prepared a report with details of the contributions made
over the last 6 months. These reports can be found at the following
link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxupAk96lggNTm0zT3A2alNRY1k
Please take a look at the reports and then assign your rating score
for
each team. (I've taken a quick preview of the reports already and it's
going to be a tough decision!). All the scores will be totalled and
the
winning team will be the one with the most points. The scores and
winner
will be announced on the OFBiz mailing lists.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: All the Hotwax team members who are involved with
any
of
the OPL teams _*will not*_ participate in the rating or scoring of
any of
the teams.
_*Rate The Teams*_
To rate the teams I've setup a short survey (see link) with the
name of
each team and a sliding scale that you can rate them and their work
from
1
(Poor) to 10 (Excellent).
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RXW7KVC
Anyone from the OFBiz Community can participate in the rating the OPL
teams. The survey will be open for the next 7 days and will close on
17^th
November 2016. The scores will be totalled and hopefully we'll find
out
which team has won the award.
Good luck to all the teams and thanks for all the OFBiz contributions
that
have been made.
Thanks
Sharan
