XWiki Days

Yesterday we had our Bug Fixing Day #11. For the 5.x development cycle we've decided to intensify our bug fixing and invert the bugs created vs bugs fixed ratio so that we're always in the green, by having weekly BFDs.

7 persons have participated yesterday to the BFD#11 (yeah!), with the following results:

Well done guys, we've squashed 29 bugs in the bug count! 

This has allowed us to go back in the Green! This means that over the last 365 days, we've closed more bugs than the number of bugs that were created during the period.

Now, our challenge is going to remain in the green as the norm. Also if we look at the Bug statistics JIRA Dashboard we can see that over the entire lifetime of XWiki, we still have progress to make on the created vs closed bug ratio. 

But let's take things one step by one step and let's congratulate everyone who made it possible to go back in the green! Well done!

Yesterday we had our Bug Fixing Day #10. For the 5.x development cycle we've decided to intensify our bug fixing and invert the bugs created vs bugs fixed ratio so that we're always in the green, by having weekly BFDs.

3 committers have participated yesterday to the BFD#10:

• Ecaterina (Evalica) Moraru
• Eduard Moraru
• Vincent Massol

Well done guys, we've squashed 21 bugs in the bug count! This leads us to 901 bugs created over the last 360 days vs 891 fixed. We have only 10 to go to be in the green! We're catching up

Let's hope more committers will participate to the next BFD on the 7th of March 2013. We should be able to be in the green during that session!

Yesterday we had our Bug Fixing Day #9. For the 5.x development cycle we've decided to intensify our bug fixing and invert the bugs created vs bugs fixed ratio so that we're always in the green, by having weekly BFDs.

3 committers have participated yesterday to the BFD#9:

• Thomas Mortagne
• Marius Florea
• Vincent Massol

Well done guys, we've squashed 19 bugs in the bug count! This leads us to 912 bugs created over the last 360 days vs 880 fixed. We have 32 to go to be in the green! 

Let's hope more committers will participate to the next BFD on the 28th of Februrary 2013 and that we can go back to the green during that session!

We hold a #bugfixingday on the first Thursday of every month with the goal of making a dent in the Created Bugs vs Closed Bugs ratio. 

Yesterday we had our #bugfixingday #8 with a total of 43 issues closed (of which 13 real issues fixed). 

Here are some stats (full stats here). …

We hold a #bugfixingday on the first Thursday of every month with the goal of making a dent in the Created Bugs vs Closed Bugs ratio. 

This month the participation for BFD #7 was quite low (it was a bank holiday in France!), having just 4 bugs closed. There is a remainder of 57 bugs count that I'm sure we can 'eradicate' during our next Bug Fixing Day which should happen on 6 December 2012. 

Here are some stats (full stats here):

Every bug closed counts, so let's make sure our next #bugfixingday will be a real success!

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!

On the 26th of April 2012, we had our first Deprecation Fixing Day. Its goal was to have the maximum number of XWiki committers and contributors work together on a focused topic for the day. This time it was about fixing the maximum number of deprecation calls and moving deprecated APIs not used anymore to our Legacy modules.

We had 6 committers participating which was an ok turnout.

In addition one new Legacy module was created in the XWiki Rendering repository and one plugin (old technology) was moved out of the "oldcore".

The Sonar Dashboard says we had 1758 deprecated calls so we fixed about 4%. It's a start!

But even more important we moved 53 deprecated API to Legacy which means nobody coding on the XWiki project will be able to use those APIs by errors from now on.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Yesterday we've had a #bugfixingday and we've achieved significant results. One of the goals was to make a dent in the Created Bugs vs Closed Bugs ratio.

We wanted to thank all who have participated (Committers and Contributors alike). Here are stats for Committers work:

Thanks to the following contributors who helped:

• Andreas Jonsson
• Johannes Stoldt

Note that these stats may not reflect 100% of the reality since they rely on people tagging the JIRA issues with the bugfixingday keyword.

Again many thanks to all that have participated!

Let's hope the next bugfixingday will attract more from our 18 active committers.
