Hi devs,
Since we're having a hard time stabilizing our build and since there are always stuff
to do to improve our build I'm proposing to introduce the notion of Build Day as an
experiment.
The idea is that on this day all developers will focus only on improving the Build. More
specifically:
- working on making all tests pass
- fix flickering tests if any
And if there are no more tests issues then the following items can be considered too (as
a secondary objective only since the main goal is fixing the build):
- upgrade versions of maven plugins
- make the build run faster
- look for TODO in the pom.xml and fix them if possible
Another idea:
- migrate tests written in selenium 1.0 to selenium 2.x

- etc
WDYT?
What about doing our first Build Day on Thursday the 25th of Augsut 2011?
Thanks

PS: This is NOT replacing the Build Manager role. It's an addition to it.
