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.

*Releases*
* "Apache OFBiz 11.04.04" has been released in February 18, 2014: this is
a bug fix release of the 11.04 branch
* the stabilization of the latest release branch 13.07 is mostly complete
and we are preparing to issue the first release out of it (13.07.01)
* we are also backporting bug fixes to the other active release
branche 12.04: soon we will probably issue one release for it

*Community and Project*
* no new committers or PMC members have been added in this quarter; the
last committer was Paul Foxworthy (paulfoxworthy), invited in
November 2012; the last PMC member was Erwan de Ferrieres (erwan),
invited in December 2009
* mailing list traffic and commits are lower than in the past years but they are still
relevant
* ApacheCon 2014: OFBiz will be represented by a presentation by me 
 ("Development of a Groovy based DSL for Apache OFBiz") and by a tutorial by
 another member of the PMC, Anil Patel ("Introduction to Developing
 Application for Apache OFBiz Framework")
* there is an ongoing discussion, within the PMC/committers group and in the
 community, about the current status of the OFBiz project; over-simplifying
 the two positions are the following:
1) the ones that are worried by the fact that the project's progress is slower
   than in the past (several historical committers are indeed less active) and
   push to get more committers and PMC members onboard
2) the ones that believe that slowing down is natural in a project that is
   reaching a stability phase and, considering the great complexity of the
   OFBiz codebase, it is important to only invite contributors that 
   clearly demonstrate a deep knowledge of the framework in order to maintain
   and improve its quality and stability over time
** it is my personal belief that addressing the concerns of both groups is
   important and I will try to encourage and facilitate a constructive
   discussion about these topics; hopefully, the project will establish
   the right rules and mechanisms to enlarge the committers base and 
   maintain a high quality code

*Infra/Legal*
We have no issues.
