OFBiz Community Days – November 2019

[Swapnil M Mane]

Hello all,

Hope you are doing well.

I would like to apologize to update you on such short notice on our
November Community day. Our this community day is starting from tomorrow,
and as you all aware it is the sequence of 5 days that form the Community
Days.
So, this community day is from *22nd** – 26th November.*

I am sorry to update you on such short notice, my notification system
doesn't work the way I expected it to work. :-/

If you are new to the concept of Community Days then please take a look at
the following wiki pages

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Community+Days+Dates

Anyone can participate (and we would like to encourage as many people as
possible to do so :-)

If there is an OFBiz task or particular area that you would like to work on
then please see if you can set aside some time over the next few days to do
it. (Even an hour will help!)

Remember that you do not have to work on it alone, our Community Days are
also a chance to collaborate with others in the community.

Our Community Days are not only coding related, we would also like to do
some tidy up of our wiki and our project documentation.

*Testing, Review and Committing Patches*
Testing and applying patches is always an important area. Many contributors
from the community have provided patches for bugs and improvements but
before committing them we need to test to them.

Patches can become out of date very quickly meaning that if they are not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 current documentation could be a whole lot better so any
contribution that helps us improve it is welcome.

*Jira Sprint*
I have created a Jira sprint "OFBiz Community Day (November 2019)" so
please add any Jira tasks when you are working on it.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=318&projectKey=OFBIZ
(You will need Jira login to access above link).

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.
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the "Edit" option
on the issue and select the sprint field.

We should add the Sprint in all the cases,
1.) If we create a ticket we should add it.
2.) If we start working on an existing ticket (adding patch or closing it
after a commit) we should add sprint if it is missing.

Basically adding Sprint will make sure the contribution will be counted in
OFBiz community days event, which is from 22nd – 26th November.
At the end of November's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 26th November.
This will help us in reporting.

*OFBiz Slack Channel*
If you haven't already taken a look, our OFBiz Slack channel is available
all the time but can be especially useful when collaborating during our
Community Days event. Please join our room using the link below:
https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel

To chat with users and developers of Apache OFBiz. Please create a Slack
account using this invite link <https://s.apache.org/slack-invite> and join
the *#ofbiz channel*. <https://s.apache.org/ofbiz-slack-channel> Please do
*not* ask OFBiz questions/discussion in the #general channel.

Let's work together to improve OFBiz, have fun and enjoy working together.

Best regards,
Swapnil M Mane,
ofbiz.apache.org

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.

Thanks for the reminder Devanshu,

It's a pity, I always forget about Community Days dates. I'll try to do better in the future ;)
