Product Feedback

Each meeting, we want users to voice their pains/challenges with Mifos and how we can make the product better. Any bugs you've found, feature requests you've had, ideas to make the product better should be shared at this time. 

This is the chance for our developers to directly hear from the mouth of the users how they use the product and what they need to use it more effectively.

For this meeting we'll review the Community Feature Requests Dashboard showing you the lifecycle of how your feedback goes from a suggestion/request to the product roadmap to actively being worked on and delivered as a new feature.  

We'll also present the 2012 Product Roadmap
