Hi Everyone I'd like bring up the topic of running an OFBiz meetup / conference again. It was one of the things that came up in the discussions in Apachecon Seville.
https://s.apache.org/smos OFBiz has a strong user base and really appeals to the business community but many of users and companies don't go to Apachecon because it is seen as a developer conference. I think that we need to start engaging more with our user community and a conference / meetup would help do that. So I'd like to explore the idea (think of it as a Proof of Concept) of holding an OFBiz conference in India. Why India? I think that we have a strong user and developer base there. I think it could be put on very cheaply and I think it could open the door for us as a project to raise our profile and run other conferences in other locations. Funding could come through sponsorship. We have a lot of service providers that we could approach for funding. I know it's still high level but I'd like to get some initial feedback about the general concept. What do people think? Thanks Sharan
