| <h2>ApacheCon Core EU 2015</h2>
|
| The OFBiz community has once again been allocated a full OFBiz track at <a href="http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-core-europe">ApacheCon Core EU 2015</a> in Budapest. After presenting a full track at the Apache Con US 2015 this is another great opportunity to present OFBiz and its versatility to new audiences. The track will be on 1st October and include a <a href="http://apacheconcore2015.sched.org/overview/type/ofbiz?iframe=no&w=i:100;&sidebar=yes&bg=no">full range of presentations</a>. Attending will be some of our OFBiz PMC, Committers and Contributors and we hope to also have some informal (and social) sessions together.

| <h2>Ongoing Discussions</h2>
|
| <h3>Website Redesign</h3>
|
| Discussions are in progress about a redesign of the <a href="http://ofbiz.apache.org">Apache OFBiz website</a>. The main intention is to better support the different target audiences who visit the website and present the information in a clear and easy to find way. You can follow the discussion at this <a href="http://ofbiz.markmail.org/message/qcil7n5ly6rer2rk">mailing list thread</a>.
|
| <h3>Logo and Marketing</h3>
|
| The project is also discussing ideas for a logo and the message that it should convey, see the <a href="http://markmail.org/message/xwnqks5hsxv2zn5u">mailing thread</a>. The logo itself may need to be made available in different standard sizes.
|
|
|
| Marketing is also being discussed as well as ways to create some general project marketing material that can be used by everyone.
|
|
|
| <h3>Conferences and Events</h3>
|
| This month PMC Member Nicolas Malin presented at the <a href="https://2015.rmll.info/automatisation-des-taches-d-infra-sur-apache-ofbiz-pour-le"> Recontres Mondiales du Logicels Libre (RMLL) in Beauvais, France, </a>.
