Yesterday we've had a #bugfixingday and we've achieved incredible results just for one day! 66 bugs closed! The main goal was to make a dent in the Created Bugs vs Closed Bugs ratio which was starting to diverge too much. Over a period of 360 days we had diverged by over 118 bugs and we're now under only by 52 bugs which hopefully we'll be able to squash completely during the next Bug Fixing Day.

We wanted to thank all who have participated (Committers and Contributors alike) and who made this day a success. 

Here are some stats (full stats here):

Again many thanks to all who have participated!
