Hi Taher, From my experience I have chosen OFBiz because the only "coherent" framework with a data model and related services. Completely different from all frameworks that are architectural only but remain an "empty box" for building applications from scratch. I think there are many

Hi Nicola, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's good to have a practical perspective. If we try to maybe list what OFBiz offers as highest value (guessing on behalf of folks) I would think it would include: - The entity and service engines with their APIs - The data model represented

Hi Taher, I think it's a very interesting discussion. She made me think a lot. I agree with your thoughts, but working as OFBiz "system integrator" I fully agree with Michael. OFBiz is not a ready-to-use ERP system but it is a fantastic framework for developing custom ERP solutions. ERPs have

Hello Taher, Thank you for this initiative and sorry for not replying sooner. I meant to reply for so long but life ... I think most / all agrees that change is needed in OFBiz but I guess we have different ideas on how to proceed. I don't think I can add a lot to what was already said. I

Thank you everyone for your kind feedback and sharing your thoughts on this initiative. I didn't get enough feedback or momentum to give me the impression that this can be a community initiative. I think I made the discussion too early before coming up with a PoC. So I will attempt something

Hi, If we want to improve OFBiz w/o changing too much the current OFBiz why not create an official OFBiz2 fork and work to this goal there? Disclaimer: I don't think of doing something like that, if people are ready for it, why not? Jacques Le 28/12/2021 à 18:18, Sakthivel Vellingiri a

Thanks Taher and Michael for detailed insights and Sathish for sharing your thoughts on upgrades. Just to introduce myself, we are using OFBiz for little over 7 years for a Life Sciences Product, and we consider ourselves as end user and haven't inclined to make hardcore changes to the framework

Dear Taher/Michael, There are two schools of thoughts when it comes to upgrades. 1. Oneside, Developers who have put so much of an effort on the product will be reluctant to change (until we see logical,visible and/or immediate benifits). 2. Another side, Who wants to be on the

Hi Taher, thanks for bringing this up! I will try to briefly explain my views on the raised topics. My perspective is from nearly 20 years of intensive work with OFBiz, both for internal and external projects. Those projects have/had a volume reaching from about 50 to over 1000  project

Hello Folks, I love OFBiz. I met great people and I learned a lot. Our business would not have existed nor succeeded without being introduced to OFBiz and the community. In the past couple of years, we hesitantly started switching projects out of OFBiz due to multiple issues. I think these
