Hello all, We have created a Jira sprint *OFBiz Community Day (August 2020)* [1] for our August community days. Please add any Jira tasks you are working on, to it. This Jira Sprint helps us track and report on the work done during the Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included.
We should add the Sprint in cases like: 1. When we create a ticket 2. When we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it after a commit). To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option on the issue and select the Sprint field. For a new issue, please select the Sprint field at the time of Jira ticket creation. Basically adding Sprint will make sure your contribution will be counted in OFBiz community days event, which is from *21st-25th August*. Let's work together to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together. [1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=318&projectKey=OFBIZ Thanks & Regards, Devanshu Vyas.
