Software Diagnostics Institute

We propose August 14 as the World Software Diagnostics Day. The rationale behind this chosen date:

• 0n14 is 0xE(rror)
• August is the 7th month based on 0-numbering scheme, and 7 is the number usually identified with user space
• August is the 8th month based on 1-numbering scheme, and 8 is the number usually identified with kernel space
• The first entry in Software Diagnostics Library was written on August 14, 2006 (Crash Dump Analysis blog at that time)
• In 2016 we celebrate 10 years of DumpAnalysis.org which in 2006 laid the foundations of pattern-oriented software diagnostics (now, together with TraceAnalysis.org, Software Diagnostics Institute), and, therefore, the first World Software Diagnostics Day will be celebrated in 2016
