Dear all,

thanks a lot for your response. According to the Foodle the meeting will
take place on Friday, January 26, 2018 from 10:30 -15:30 in Jena
(Ernst-Abbe-Platz 2-4, Room 1224a). We will set up remote access via
Skype (yes, our teleconf equipment works best with Skype). Those of you
who would like to attend remotely, please provide me with your Skype name.

If you like to read up on how to write a user story, here is a good

> Before X-mas we conducted a meeting with most BEXIS 2 core developers to
> identify issues/shortcomings in the current development process. We came
> up with quite a list of things that could be improved. We grouped them
> into 5 categories: workflow, documentation, best-practices, testing,
> tooling and decided to implement them gradually. For example, we decided
> to go more open and shift from our local MS Team Foundation Server to a
> public GitHub repository for code and task management (incl. issue
> tracking). To kick-off these improvements we will spend most of our time
> in January on that. So feature development will resume in February 2018
> based on the results of our joint meeting mentioned above.
