Hello, Was at Fosdem on Friday evening at the Beer Event and met Sharan and Pierre and we had an interesting chat about ofbiz. I was again at Fosdem on Saturday afternoon. Amazing how many high tech software presentations were done at the same time. Lots of people. Should be very attractive if Ofbiz should be there with a presentation and a booth also.
