ASF Board Report 2010-12

Report for December 2010 for Apache OFBiz (The Apache Open For Business Project) as a top level project.

Apache OFBiz (The Apache Open For Business Project) is an open source
enterprise automation software project. By enterprise automation we mean:
ERP, CRM, E-Business / E-Commerce, MRP, SCM, CMMS/EAM, and so on.

We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time.

of the domain "ofbiz.org" (the OFBiz pre-ASF domain) have been successfully
transferred to the ASF (INFRA-2625)
Project Naming And Descriptions: complete - use proper Apache forms, describe product, etc.
Website Navigation Links: complete - navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included

The main pages (index, download) should be now compliant with the project branding guidelines;
