OFBiz Community Day - 19th March 2016

[Sharan-F]

Hi Everyone

Our first Community Day for 2016 is on 19th March. 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.

Testing and Committing Patches
One of the areas that is always important is the testing and applying of patches. Our Community members have continually provided patches for bugs and improvements. Before applying patches 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Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not tested early enough then they can miss out on being included.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 lot better so any contribution that helpis us improve our current documentation is welcome.

Framework Re-factor
We have recently kicked off an initiative to tidy up and clean our framework. Some of the changes required are quite simple so if you see anything that can be easily (nothing complex yet please!) tidied up then please help us.

Jira Sprint
I have created a Jira sprint in preparation for the Community Day so please start adding your the Jira tasks to it. Dont forget that the 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.

I will open the sprint tomorrow (a day before the Community Day itself) and also leave it open for a few days afterwards.

Thanks
Sharan
