There has been a flurry of interest in Can and the US for using OFN for local sustainable flower farms and flower hubs. I think this is happening because of our generally positive experience in OFN-CAN with using OFN for The Local Flower Collective (in Toronto). Following from local food hubs, these local flower collectives are till a relatively new phenomenon in NA, not sure about elsewhere. A few local flower farmers and hubs have expressed very preliminary interest in whitelabelling the OFN codebase and branding it more for flowers. I’ve been asked to suggest to people in the ‘local flower movement’ her what kind of cost we might be looking at for this, and who might do the work. ONe reason this is coming up is because Shopify used to offer an adaptation of their platform for flower farmers and flower hubs. It was a partnership between them and the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers in the US. They have just decided not to support this adaptation any longer, and this partnership has more or less dissovled now, leaving a few local flower hubs who were using it with a void. I think these hubs might transition to OFN, which does what the shopify adaptation did - PLUS a lot more, at a significantly lower cost. BUT - they’d really like a flower brand. Two things would help me advance these discussions here: 1. Is there a similar local flower movement happening outside of NA with farms and hubs evolving that would use a re-branded OFN? 2. Rough estimate of what it would cost to develop a new brand for the OFN codebase - both initially, and on an ongoing basis (presuming the flower branded platform would want to have the OFN global team push through updates there too?) Any thoughts - @Kirsten @Rachel @Jen @lin_d_hop - who else to ping?
