Hi Sharan, sorry for the missing reply, this was buried under a pile of other todos...
I think this is a great idea, please go on with it. I'm happy to help if I can.

Hi All Although I've had no responses on this thread I haven't given up because I think it has a lot of potential. So I'd still like to have a go at organising something just as a proof of concept :-) Thanks Sharan On 2017-03-14 11:21 (+0200), "Sharan Foga"<sha...@apache.org> wrote: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
