What is a Community Day?

A Community Day is when every OFBiz community member is invited to work solely on OFBiz bugs, improvements, new features, testing etc. Essentially the community will be working together to achieve something that will benefit OFBiz.

We are planning to have one community day each quarter so a total of four (4) throughout the year. We have selected the following days for 2015.

  • Q1 - Saturday March 21 2015

 

  • Q2 - Saturday June 20

In the weeks leading up to a Community Day we will post reminders on the mailing lists and also indicate if there are any specific tasks that we would like to accomplish on the day.

What can I do on a Community Day?

There are a range of tasks that you can do on a Community Day and you don't need to be a developer to participate. See below of some ideas for Community Day tasks

Testing:

  • Review JIRA issues and confirm if the original reported issue still exists (we have a lot of issues that may now be out of date but havent been closed )
  • Test patches that have been submitted by community members to fix issues (before we can commit these we need a thorough test that the patch works and doesnt break any existing functionality)

Bug Fixing

  • Review JIRA an assign yourself to an open issue then look at providing a patch to fix the issue

Why not calling a day Community Day for OFBiz every quarter of the year?
Usually it can be in the 3rd week of the month, lets say Saturday.
This way we will be able to organize 4 big community day every year.

On this day every community member is invited to solely work on OFBiz bugs,
improvements, new features and testing for whole day together. It will be
completely optional to participate.

It should be possible to come together and work with all the available
tools around us for managing OFBiz i.e. mailing lists, JIRA, Confluence.

Just an idea I got, so thought to put it here as I read your email.
