Maybe those who did not participate should also be asked some questions in
that survey (e.g. why they didn't). There can also much be learned from
them, in order to improve what the project is doing regarding engagement &
participation.

Hello all,

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the OFBiz community day.
Every contribution matters!
Indeed, this was an impactful event, a lot of traffic was seen in

commits

and notifications list.

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)

<goog_1732383207>
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/998GG8Y

The survey will be open until *June 5th, 2019.* and I will document
the results on the Wiki and publish it on the mailing list.

P.S. I am closing the "OFBiz Community Day (May 2019)" Jira sprint.

Thank you, Sharan Foga for designing the survey, all your prepared

assets

for community day is helping us very much! :-)

Hello Rishi,

Thanks for your concern, I am sure it will help others too.
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 24th – 28th May.
At the end of May's OFBiz Community day i.e. after 28 May.
This will help us in reporting.

the

Community Days so please try to make sure your work is included.

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce, we are reviving the celebration of

OFBiz

community days.
The community days are organized once per quarter so a total of

four

(4)

events throughout the year.

We are having a sequence of 5 days that form the Community Days.

This

extends the time frame and gives people more flexibility to

contribute.

So

this month our Community Days will run from today *24th – 28th

May.*

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 (May 2019)" so

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.
To set the sprint on an existing issue, simply click on the

"Edit"

option

on the issue and select the sprint field.

*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.

P.S. Thanks *Sharan Foga* for building the assets and

documentation

related to community day, it really helps in reviving OFBiz

community

days,

thanks a ton :-)
