As the team size grew 20 to 40 in Frappe, the time it took to complete the Open Day increased drastically. 1 day was not enough to accomodate presentations of 40 people. So it was split into 2 and sometimes 3 days. Often people would get exhausted by the end of the day.

This time we decided to do alternate Open Day's every month for Developers and Consultants/Writers/Sales/Non-Dev team. So here is the summary of Developer Open Day for the month of July.
