Hello all, A big thank so much to everyone who participated in the OFBiz community day. Every contribution matters!
We'd also like anyone who participated to complete a brief survey. This will help us gather some feedback and information about how we can improve future Community Days. *IMPORTANT NOTE*: Please only complete the survey if you actually participated in Community Day. Please feel this short survey, (There are only 9 questions so it really won't take much time) https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PLRB26C The survey will be open until *December 5th, 2019.* and I will document the results on the Wiki and publish it on the mailing list. P.S. We have closed the "OFBiz Community Day (November 2019)" Jira sprint. Thanks & Regards, Devanshu Vyas.
