Hi All I’m still recovering (not in the hangover sense!) from the great time I had in Budapest with everyone. It was really good to be there and meet, chat and generally hang out. There were a few surprises for me including seeing OFBiz Committer Gavin Mabie there all the way from South Africa! It also was good to see Rupert Howell and also Simon from Stannah.
This year all presentations in the OFBiz track were done by people whose first language was not English and once again I was very, very impressed! I think that we have a few jokers in our community – for example someone took a picture of Julien during his UX Design presentation when the slide was blank! (BTW if you haven’t seen the OFBiz photos from Apachecon then please take a look at the Twitter feed.) Our presentation attendance numbers were good : Jacopo (17), Hans (14), Youssef (17), Gil (16), Nathan (20) and Julien (15). My talk got 12 but mainly thanks to the OFBiz guys! All the talks were very good and I especially liked Youssef’s demo of the Asterisk PBX integration for OFBiz where it even recorded the phone conversation! On Friday morning we ran an informal OFBiz group discussion to talk about any points that people saw as important. These could then be raised on the mailing lists for further discussions within the community. I think that some really good ideas and suggestions came up and I’ll write up the notes that I made and add them to the wiki. As well as discussions, networking and teambuilding happening between the OFBiz group, we also did some networking with other Apache projects – for example Jacopo met up with the main Freemarker Committer who lives in Budapest. One of the outcomes was that he mentioned that the Freemarker community would be happy to get input from the OFBiz community for potential features or improvements for Freemarker. Once again a big thank you to everyone who took part, presented or helped in anyway. I hope you all enjoyed the experience - I know that I did. Let’s do it again next year!
