Pizza Bugs and Fun October 2019 was a roaring success!

Saturday the 19th october 2019 saw Pizza, Bugs and Fun sessions all around the world. It was amazing, truly amazing!

25 countries were present for this edition, starting with our Australian friends and ending on the American West Coast with Asia, Africa, Europe filling in the middle of the day. Hundreds of Joomlers worked together with one single goal: Make Joomla 4 our best version yet!

More Joomlers than we can count joined together to smash bugs, eat pizzas and have a truly fun time together. It was really a fantastic success, as you can see from the statistics below.

With over 230 people from 25 countries, 250 pull request tests, 2000 documentation changes, 54 merged PR and around 50 found bugs, it was a huge success.

The board is very proud of the hard work done by the Global Community and would like to wholeheartedly thank all involved. The commitment was outstanding and the work done has been priceless in helping our Production Department to take a big leap forward towards releasing the first Beta of Joomla 4.
