Dear community, Last week, I sort of mentioned the idea that it would be excellent to see some of the results of User XP customization from the community. I even suggested a BonitaSoft mug… But what if we mounted another official Challenge? It's great to see contributions from the community, and fun to offer something in return. What do you think? And in other news...the Bonita team in Grenoble (R&D, services, administration, and sales) spent a day offsite recently, acquiring some new skills. 
The Latest from R&D
The Studio team has been working on refactoring the user interface, for example, reorganizing the tabs in Details view to make Bonita functions clearer, simpler and easier to use. (Also a bit faster.) Look for this in 5.4. 
The Normandy Java Users Group (NormandyJUG) is hosting a program with Bonita and Chief Services Officer Rodrigue Le Gall, Tuesday 16 November at exia.cesi in Rouen – Mont-St-Aignan. Stop by if you're in the area.
