I am planning to do a series of webinars on how to use the various back end
applications, starting of with Manufacturing.
But I am eager to learn what you would like to be handled in this series,
so please send some feedback and we will see what an how this can be
scheduled.

Hi. As i don't have enough experience with ofbiz myself, i would much
appreciate some webinars explaining the ussage of the default ofbiz
applications. For me the priorities would look something like this:
1. Invoice mgmt
2. Employee mgmt
3. Product / Price mgmt
4. Customizing exports?
I look forward to your first video.

Thank you, Mr. Smits, for starting this webinar project. I wish you the
best success and I hope to get a chance to learn some things.
Is there a way to have a general theme in the webinars featuring two
fictional people who are trying to implement similar but not identical
configurations of OFBiz, to demonstrate the different things that might
need to be done in different circumstances? Maybe someone wants an
ecommerce store front and someone else has different needs? Call those
two people Alice and Bob, and use each webinar to teach people about the
considerations they need to keep in mind as they try to implement their
own OFBiz solution.
I'm an OFBiz noob, so I don't even know if there's enough things
"different" about various kinds of configurations to make them into a
webinar subject-of-study, let alone the general theme of multiple webinars.
In any case, I'm looking forward to any webinars that can help me take
off the OFBiz training wheels.

I'm willing to help if I can, although the only thing I have to offer at
this point is editing talent (making good writing look like great writing).
Keep in mind something that seriously ticked me off the other day. I
wanted to check out a webinar for a product called Wowza, which bills
itself as a streaming server that "allows just about anyone on any
platform to watch your video source." Problem was, the webinar service
they used pulled the ol' "We're sorry, but unless you are using Windows
or Mac you cannot join this webinar" garbage, which ended up making
Wowza itself look bad.
Which is to say: if your product is marketed as something that works on
platforms other than Windows/Mac, make sure your webinars don't insult
those who prefer something besides Windows/Mac. Not that OFBiz has ever
done any such thing, just saying ... that I'm willing to help if I can.
Here's one opinion. Use poster-zoom presentations about the OFBiz MVC
framework & data model as visual aids during webinars (also as
standalone pages accessible from the site or the wiki or something like
that).

Hi Lei,
As this is volunteer work I can't possibly give any schedule on this. But I
have noted the interest areas and will take that as guidance.

Pierre，
Really looking forward to the webinars. I'd like to learn each of the applications in terms of：
1. how are they supposed to be used
2. how applications are connected to one another

Outstanding. What I would suggest, though, is, at the broad scale,
organize by each of the applications built into OFBiz, but within each of
these, identify and follow each of the use cases, start to finish, and then
tack on the end, each of the known supported variants. If done in this
manner, your script, or lesson plan, can be re-purposed into a how-to web
page, for each task that any employee of any company using it may have to
do. One might as well look at doing this sort of thing with a view toward
getting the biggest payoff possible. When I have developed commercial
software, while I ensure the client's interests are satisfied, all the
documentation I produced was targeted toward those of the client's staff
that has to use it, writing in their language, using jargon with which
they're familiar, and writing about their interests in getting their job
done as efficiently as possible.
And, of course, in this context, one of the people that needs attention is
the sysop who has to get it all set up so that the other staff can do their
jobs (whether they're sales staff, the company's accountant, or in the
warehouse or managing an assembly line).
I wish you well in your efforts in this area.
Cheers,
Ted

Hi Pierre,
Good initiative! I guess everyone would be interested and would be
supporting you.

I think the webinars should also include development (from a developer's
point of view), and not only be about using the back end (from an admin's
point of view).
Good luck!
