[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen Test Writing Day

[Jason Stephenson]

Liam, et al.

The misunderstanding is mostly my fault. I read tomorrow in Liam's
email this morning, so thought it meant Wednesday, and not today.

This is another reason for adding things like this to the calendar,
'cause I checked the calendar and it was not there. It is there, now.

Cheers,
Jason
