[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen Test Writing Day

[liam.whalen at bc.libraries.coop]

Because I scheduled the current Test Writing Day to take place on the  
same day as the Monthly Maintenance, I will postpone test writing day  
until next week.

Here is a Doodle poll to help choose the new date:

I will add this new date to the Evergreen community calendar by the  
end of Friday this week.

>> Jason, do you think there will be much of a conflict with release  
>> day if we hold off on merging any of the tests until after  
>> tomorrow? The patches from the August test writing day weren't

> I still think it would be a good idea to have test writing day or any
