Ye Bugsmithing Day - March 8

 De inschrijving voor dit evenement is gesloten
On March 8, all ye of strong stomach and willing hearts are called upon to gather and smithe as many bugs in the new 4.3 release as ye can find. All over the globe, brave knights will defend the CiviCRM colours and find the little nuisances which keep 4.3 from becoming the bestest release ever !

'Is it that time of the release cycle already?', I hear ye sayeth! Well yes my medieval friends, it is! Version 4.3 has some lovely new features and I'm sure you will want to be upgrading soon.

If you have lived through a couple of versions of CiviCRM, then you will likely know the value of release testing - especially if you never got round to doing any! But rather go into the gruesome consequences of not testing, I thought I would let you know thatthere is another way!

Paul Delbar has been doing some amazing work on community release testing (inc. this lovely image that you should print out and distribute to all your friends and colleagues) and for all of you that like and need a bit of encouragement we will be bug smithing together on Friday 8th March.

Please note this next bit is important so I bold AND italicised it:

Bug smithing is not just for techies! Check out this awesome infographic for tips on getting started whether you are a user, integrator or developer.
