## Description:
Apache OFBiz is an open source enterprise automation software project
## Issues:
there are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- new features, improvements and bug fixes have been contributed
and integrated into the official code base
- the community is active and friendly: there are discussions in the mailing
lists, community days (days in which contributors virtually meet and
work together at resolving as many tickets as possible) and activity
in Jira and Confluence
- the community is trying to define a roadmap for the refactoring
of the framework following an evolutionary step-by-step approach;
the framework represents a large portion of the OFBiz codebase and
some parts of it are rather old and may benefit from a renewal/upgrade;
since the framework is used by several applications, the
community is trying to find a way to minimize the impact on them
- the activity in the official blog and Twitter accounts is steady
and we have started to publish some videos on our official youtube
channel
- also this year the OFBiz project will be represented at ApacheCon:
in fact some OFBiz related presentations have been accepted
- we have some pending CVEs that we have partially addressed and we
are trying to finalize as soon as possible; for this reason we have
delayed our release dates but we are trying to complete this work in
the next few weeks
- finally, the sad news that shook our community:
on 1st January 2016, OFBiz Committer, former PMC member and friend
Adrian Crum passed away. Adrian joined the OFBiz project
during the incubation phase and in 2007 was invited to
become a committer. Later that year Adrian joined the
OFBiz PMC and participated until June 2014. Over the years
Adrian contributed around 5,000 postings to the mailing lists,
over 2,300 issues and comments to issues and over 2,000 commits.
The project has setup a memorial page for the community to
share their stories, and experiences of Adrian and the community
has also decided to dedicate our next OFBiz release to him.
## Health report:
the project seems to be in an healthy phase: medium traffic in the
mailing lists, good and friendly communication and collaboration; the
committers group is slowly growing; we are behind of our schedule on
releases because we are slowly progressing at making our system more
secure in its default configuration (once completed, this work will
address the CVEs reported)

previous quarters
