Marketing team in 2025
- We held approximately 40 meetings throughout 2025, with the main team including @druiz, @carlosruiz, @chuckboecking, @barg4barg, and very often others like @dpansheriya, @hengsin, and @norbertbede joined in.
- Key Accomplishments
  - The committee drove Release 12 promotion, including appreciation posts and announcements, financial reports publication, and website enhancements like contributor pages. We launched "iDempiere Gotcha" posts (e.g., Dynamic Filters, REST API, Saved Queries).
  - We published the community survey with 88+ responses analyzing usage trends (92% accounting users, REST as top plugin ...) which help us make better informed decisions.
  - We supported the conference team in Budapest with speaker announcements, session planning, and video releases.
- Major Initiatives
  - Solutions Hub: Created a dedicated page showcasing real-life implementations by top makers (Zuelling, DevERP, Logilite, etc.), with cards featuring industries, countries, and "Learn More" links.
  - Release 13 Prep: Collaborated on freeze activities - naming poll (v13 Orion), testing days, bug-solving week, upgrade discussions, and community events.
  - Content & Engagement: Published blog recaps, "This Week in iDempiere announcements," Hacktoberfest participation, and explored co-marketing, AI channels, iDempiereGotchas, etc ....
  - Help organizing the conference in Budapest
  - We are also engaging with @marco.longo to organize iDempiere in Venice 2026
- During these weekly meetings, we tracked community development progress, coordinated content creation, and planned major initiatives.
- A heartfelt thanks to each of you (@carlosruiz, @barg4barg, @chuckboecking, @dpansheriya, @hengsin) for your amazing commitment, creative energy, and passionate engagement.
- And a big thanks to @druiz for leading this committee!
- Your participation in this committee has made this year great and more milestones are coming in 2026!
Release Freeze collaboration - Bug solving week
