Drupal 8 Initiatives
This group is an announcement list of major discussions and happenings in Drupal 8 initiatives, cross-posted from their dedicated groups and issue queues (listed below). If you only have time to read a single channel of info on Drupal 8, this is the one!
Content is along the lines of:
a) We think a decision has been reached, and here's the decision. Feedback?
b) We're trying to reach a decision, and we need help. Here's where to chime in to help us reach it.
c) General status reports about "Hey, if you've been busy for the past while, here's what's going on and what things you should know."
Unfortunately, this group needs to be kept invite-only in order to keep the content curated to only important announcements of general interest, but you are warmly encouraged to comment and participate on any discussions posted to this group!

Report from the Budapest sprint on Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative issues
We just held a one-day sprint in person in Budapest (sponsored by the NIIF Institute, heavy Drupal users themselves) and over IRC on #drupal-i18n this past weekend to make significant progress on some of the D8MI issues. Given almost all in-person attendees were new to Drupal 8, some new to working on Drupal core, I chose issues which were easier to pick up but great help for D8MI to roll along, as well as asked people to help review existing issues and work on (upgrade) tests. All-in-all, we had the following people in attendance in person: @balagan, @csg, @Desire, @eager, @hairqles, @kalman.hosszu, @pkiraly, @roderik, @tanarurkerem, @zly and myself. In attendance over IRC were @clemens.tolboom, @fubhy, @reyero and @tstoeckler. (Hope I did not leave anybody out).
We made very good progress on the following issues.

Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative sprint at and after the end of Drupalcon Denver
There is already a traditional code sprint day at the end of Drupalcon Denver. While US Drupalcons are not usually flush with interest for multilingual topics, there is always a sizable set of people interested, and we are looking forward to Suzanne's and Florian's great session on the topic.
Therefore we added an additional two days of sprinting for those interested in the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative, so we can continue our work. I always found the one day sprints at Drupalcons are not good to do larger scale work and having a minimum of three days makes the work much more productive.
There is of course nobody stopping people from sprinting all through the conference, as a work home-alone geek I'm more than happy to meet people and have great discussions and conversations, so I'm not planning for a computer focused coder extravaganza on the Drupalcon days. I will definitely support people who do intend to work on multilingual patches throughout the conference especially if you can come to the general Drupalcon days but not extend your stay (which would be sad).
Planned dates for the Denver sprint are therefore: March 23 (Fri), 24 (Sat), 25 (Sun) 2012. We are still working on booking a venue for the additional days. The Friday sprint day will take place as part of the regular Drupalcon sprint organization.
Additionally or instead of signing up here please indicate your availability for the sprint at http://www.doodle.com/54gtf4xqxe7hd6qz#table - a table that includes all Drupalcon days as well to get an inea of people interested sprinting on Drupalcon days (too).

One day Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative sprint on Feb 18th
We are holding a one day sprint for people interested in working on solutions for the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative. The physical sprint is in Budapest, on Saturday, Feb 18th from 9am to 6pm local time (CET). Because most of you would not be able to make it in person, we'll also hang out in #drupal-i18n so if you want to join, feel free to do so then and there. Because this is a one day sprint only and people attending the sprint will be mostly new to Drupal 8 development (experienced in Drupal development in general though), we expect to work on lower hanging fruit tasks.
