Hi Everyone As Pierre mentioned the dates for Apachecon NA 2015 have been announced and they are now calling for conference presentations (CFP) from all Apache projects.
As we filled a full track in Budapest last week, we may be given the opportunity to fill a complete track in Apachecon NA too. One key thing for filling a track is that we try to fully represent our project. This means that we try to get presentations covering a range of topics. Off the top of my head – I'm thinking some topic categories could be something like: -*Introduction* (e.g. to ofbiz in general or a specific application, the framework and services) -*Business* (e.g. how OFBiz is being used and which industries, etc) -*Technical* (e.g. Tools, Extentions, Configuration) -*Development* (e.g. getting started, building a new application, modifiying an existing one,) -*Case Study/User Story* (e.g. implementation story, challenges and successes etc) -*Panel Discussion* (e.g. Open source ERP vs Commercial etc) -*Tutorial* (Remember that Tutorials tend to cost extra!) What do people think? Are there any other categories or topics that the community or people wanting to attend Apachecon NA would like to see included in an OFBiz track? Also if you have already submitted an OFBiz presentation for Apachecon NA then please let me know either via this thread or by filling in the details on the Wiki Page that Pierre has created. It just means that we can keep track of the type of presentation it will be as I want to make sure that we can cover all our topics and categories.
