To my surprise, I’d missed that last August was the second anniversary for the copmonthly and since this post has been a great opportunity to recognize helpful and active members over the past three years, it’d still be a good idea to celebrate this anniversary. We can say that not a single month passes without community members sharing and exchanging their knowledge and experiences which is greatly honored, and in the copmonthly post we tag helpful members, feature finders, and bug hunters as well as the top 10 active users to thank them for their participation. You might also enjoy having a look at the top topic of the month, DHIS2-Challenges and the copmonthly map. How would you like to celebrate the anniversary? Congratulations to you all!

Many users who faced issues and discussed them with the community were very helpful in finding bugs. These bug hunters create Jira issues (with link to the CoP post) and support the development of DHIS2.
