Dear community, Last week, I sort of mentioned the idea that it would be excellent to see some of the results of [User XP customization](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=131) from the community.  I even suggested a BonitaSoft mug… But what if we mounted another official Challenge?  It's great to see contributions from the community, and fun to offer something in return. What do you think? And in other news...the Bonita team in Grenoble (R&D, services, administration, and sales) spent a day offsite recently, acquiring some new skills.
