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. Participation is completely optional so you do not have to participate.

When are the Community Days?

What can I do on a Community Day?


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.



How about these dates each quarter-

If community shows interest we can publish news on OFBiz site for the same.
On start of each quarter we can announce the dates and reminders for the
same in the beginning/middle every month. Reminders are needed so that
interested parties can plan their availability accordingly.

We can call vote for the same, this way we will be able to know if
community is interested in participating in such events.

There will be definitely time zone issue we will face but IMO we should
discuss possibilities. The date and the day is important irrespective of
the time zone. Different groups can be active on the same date and we'll
definitely achieve something.

As one community member dedicates a full day of work around 8 hours he may
work on-
1. Documentation Updates
2. Bug Fixes
3. Improvements
4. New Features
5. Testing a component and creating automated tests (JUnit, Selenium)

In general anything is done for the project on the dedicated day and we'll
be able take community
interaction and spirit to next level.
