A Localization Improvement Day is a very good idea IMO :) I’m less thrilled by the testing day which for me is something that needs to be done all the time anyway. Not sure what we would on that day that we don’t do normally. There’s E) though (Code Coverage Day) which is close to this one but in a more interesting way IMO since the tests we write stay and don’t need to be done again and again manually. Ok let’s continue brainstorming on days and since we have a lot we’ll then decide which ones we want to do and when! :) Thanks -Vincent > Andreea > > > On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 11:20 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > > Hi devs, > > > > We've done one year of BFD on the 5.x cycle and this has allowed us to > > reach a greater goal: one of having caught up with the number of open bugs. > > We've first succeeded in closing more bugs than there has been created bugs > > over a year, then over 2 years, then over 3 years, then over 4 years and > > we're very close to succeed for the last 1600 days (ie 4.4 years)! :) > > > > I'd like to congratulate everyone on this achievement which is really > > awesome.
