Shopware United PWA event
PWA - history and status of Progressive Web Apps. Where are we at now and where is it going? With Jamie Maria Schouren - Deity, Wouter den Otter - Shopware United, Bavo Janss - iO.
iO, the location host of this event, will also offer the attendees a nibble and drinks.
Shopware United was formed to help Shopware move from being a leading German platform to being a leading global platform, one that flies the flag for “Open Source” ecommerce and the benefits of flexible and adaptable ecommerce software. To do that we need to bring all the different stakeholders in Shopware together, for the benefit of all. That means developers, agencies, technology providers, merchant and a whole wealth of other people and businesses. We want to help all these diverse communities, from countries all around the world, live and thrive in the Shopware ecosystem. With this in mind we have adopted the following aims:
AIMS
To give the Shopware community an “English First” focus point for communication especially across borders (ie to serve the Int community and help it integrate, where possible, with the German community)
To improve communication channels into Shopware without sacrificing the independence of the community
To increase Shopware community visibility and ensure that Shopware knowledge, information, extension discussion and features /ideas are visible to both search engines and the community.
To encourage maximum involvement of the community to the product and the wider ecosystem
To identify areas of Shopware that the Community could usefully contribute to
To provide a mechanism for extension projects to be allocated to developers
To actively welcome new people, especially those from other territories and countries , to local events
In addition to this we wanted to ensure that these aims are upheld in a way that guarantees the culture we think is important to an Open Source community. We therefore also have included some core values that we expect our Shopware Community to uphold:
CORE VALUES
Be Inclusive, not Exclusive
Do not promote exclusivity (no VIP status, no “Masters”).
No event, (apart from AGM or EGM) should be member-only.
“ Ask not what the Community can do for You, but what You can do for the Community”
Members participate actively and contribute time.
