I think they also made some great choices about where they want to expand - eBay and BI are great additions to SMEs looking into open source ERP. Hi Christian,

It was founded a long time ago in 2001 - but it wasn't well known until recently (I myself found about it first in 2006). IMHO the reason why OFBiz has this huge developer activity is that it is a community driven Open Source project - in contrast to "Commercial Open Source" solutions where there is just one vendor behind the project (and the Apache brand surely helps a bit..)
