Official badges - follow up
- We chose the badge without tails option. We leave the badge on the organizations page, we encourage the top makers to use the badge on their websites to route people to the project.
- Thanks to Vanessa for the design.
Community survey results analysis
- It would be nice to use a Friday meeting to show the GUI installer in action to the community.
- RUN_SyncDBDev.sh does not fully work on Windows and that's a problem
- The community is getting older, not many newcomers, the results show very few people that joined the project less than 2 years ago, and the age average is above 30. We should pursue ways to attract younger people to the community. @carlosruiz proposes: split the ERP from the "app framework" explore integration with things like machine learning
