[Bf-education] Fwd: Open Source test delivery solution

[Rui Campos]

Hi Ton,

If no one picks this up before next weekend, I will make sure to do some
content and provide you with something you could send these guys.

It is indeed in our wishlist and I think we could benefit alot from it.


Hector, are you able to pick this one up ?
