Behind the Scenes with Bonita #16 (9 Aug 2010 -> 14 Aug 2010)

Dear Community,

It’s getting quiet. Around us, France begins its month-long holiday. But we have milestones to meet, bugs to fix, features to add. So the BonitaSoft offices stay open and the developers stay busy.

Contributions

You know that BonitaSoft employees are ineligible to win the Process Challenge, right? So are members of their families, and their pets, and their family members' pets. So the contest is still wide open, though among the code dudes at BonitaSoft it’s Mickael Istria in the lead

Bad news about the BonitaSoft mug...

It's still on my desk, sitting sadly in its box. Come on, win the mug and give it a happy home.

Surely you have a comment or two to offer? I know, you’re probably busy working on the Process Challenge.

And remember: be inspired, be Bonita!
