It’s exciting to see that last month’s most viewed topic, the copmonthly, coincided with its anniversary!
Following that, a community topic post from HISP Academy,
The academy news above received a lot of attention. Were you one of the people who participated in this academy? (@Visualization-A24 - tagging participants) Please remember to share about your experience.
Another community topic post that received a number of likes and views comes from Nepal:
It is great to see the community staying up to date with DHIS2 Core Team Announcements - Annonces… 
And finally, there were a bunch of support topic posts that received the attention and interaction of both the core team and community members illustrating examples of collaboration and finding solutions. Great to work together!

Bug Hunters
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.

Feature Finders
We do tag feature finders in every copmonthly so if you have features that you’d like to share and discuss with the community feel free to make a post, and follow the instructions to add ideas into the software roadmap process.

The challenge for this month (August 2024):
In the DHIS2 Community of Practice, “Use Case” is a term that is often used in many discussion topics. “What is the use case?” is a question that is sometimes required for an expert to contribute ‘wisely’ to the discussion. It’s also a term used in the DHIS2 Academy, so which of these choices is the correct answer…
- The Catalina.out log
- A list of all features available in the DHIS2 system
- A description that explains the need for using the system in a particular situation
- A step-by-step guide for Events programs
[First person to answer correctly will be mentioned in the next copmonthly]
HINT: This question is answered in Module 2: Introduction to Tracker Concepts 2.2 - What Is a Use Case? - DHIS2 Events Fundamentals digital self-paced course, DHIS2 Events Fundamentals | DHIS2 Online Academy
