Hi Everyone Our third Community Day for 2016 is coming up on 17th September. If you are not sure what our Community Days are all about then please take a look at the following wiki page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days If you would like to participate then please start thinking about what area or task you'd like to work on. Please see below for some possible focus areas for the community day. * Continue Work on Framework Re-factor* A lot of work has already been done, but there is a lot left to do. This could be a good time to see how you could help with tidying up our existing code. This effort really benefits OFBiz by making it easier for developers to work with and more efficient to run. Some of the changes needed are simple and other are more complex, so please take a look and choose something that you'd like to help with. *Testing, Review and Committing Patches* One area that is always important is the testing and applying of patches. Our Community members have continually provided patches for bugs and improvements but before committing thems we need to test them across the various versions to make sure they do what they are supposed to do. Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not tested early enough then they can miss out on being included. We have a large number of patches available so this could be a good opportunity for test, review and commit. *Documentation* We know that our documentation could be a whole lot better so any contribution that helps us improve our current documentation is welcome. *Jira Sprint* As usual I will create a Jira sprint in preparation for the Community Day so once created please start adding your Jira tasks to it. This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the Community Day so please try to make sure your work is included. *HipChat Community Collaboration Room* A HipChat room for OFBiz has been created and it has been enabled with Guest Access which means that anyone from the Community can join it using the link below: https://www.hipchat.com/g4vOayvmc For our next Community Day on 17th September, I think it would be good to try it out to see if it it helps with collaboration. Please add the date to your diary and let's see if we can do some work, have fun and enjoy working together on our Community Day. Thanks Sharan
