Regular Code Sprint?
In last week's downtown S.D. DUG, Andrew Root and I talked about the possibilities of starting a monthly working sprint for everyone to come together and do some meaningful stuff that the community needs which will also benefit us as a group. There was a show of hands numbering around 10 people of those who were interested, so let's get started!
Please click the 'Signup' button on this event so that we know how many are coming.
What should we do?
This first sprint will be 100% code-related (but anybody can attend and help, or learn!) and will entail a Drupal 7 upgrade to the http://drupal.org.project/cod project so that we can then use it to build our own SANDcamp 2012 website.
There's a roadmap at http://usecod.com/roadmap and a detailed wiki of needed tasks at http://groups.drupal.org/node/138619
Where to be
The kindly folks at Kohwork'n have agreed to sponsor this event in their fabulous San Marcos location (http://kohworkn.com/coworking-gallery/)
375 South Rancho Santa Fe Rd
Suite 103 (downstairs, not up)
San Marcos CA 92078
What to bring
Bring your everlovin' mind, and a soul that's willing to get down and dirty for no profits. :) Oh, and a computer too, hopefully with a localhost development environment already installed and working. If you don't have the last item, we might be able to help you get that working, but no guarantees. We'll be working directly out of the Git repositories on drupal.org, so at least a passing familiarity with Git version control's checkouts and commits.
Also, bring a power strip, a bottle of water, and some light snacks if you'd like. There are several places to eat within walking distance, and even one that @sdboyer likes. ;)

ooo reeeeeaallly...
I might actually be able to get there. My wife has family in the area she's been dying to get to see since our new niece was born. And since we're like to have the next DrupalCon website in D7 on COD I would love to be there to help out! Tickets look fairly reasonable right now but it would help if you know of a way I could get a little sponsorship money to offset a plane ticket.
Sponsorship
w00t! Lullabot has agreed to sponsor me to go! I'll be there!
You're sponsored? Totally awesome!
Nice! Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday! Thanks, Lullabot!

I cross-posted this to the cod group, hope that's OK.
There's also a wiki of tasks to get cod upgraded to Drupal 7. that may be useful.

Greggles, thanks for crossposting this to the COD group, that's a great idea. Also, we've already got the http://groups.drupal.org/node/138619 tasks page listed in our event, but we'd like some advice on whether we should try and turn those into a proper set of issues?
I'm leaning toward 'yes', but I thought I'd check and see what a co-maintainer's thoughts might be before I haul off and populate a metric ton of new issues into the queue?

No promises, but if I don't
No promises, but if I don't have any conflicts I'll try to make it down from L.A. I have a friend in North County, so it won't be too insane...if it comes together...there's a high chance it won't...but hey, we'll see what happens.
I some vested interest in this because working on COD will probably teach me a lot of things that I'd like to know...even though I'm not sure how I feel about Meetup.com stuff at the moment!

So things fell through re. North County, but I might just drive down and drive up if there are no other conflicts. I kinda long for a good code sprint :)
I also have experience porting modules to Drupal 7. I ported my own, Fill PDF. So maybe that experience will come in handy.

Would Froggacuda please come and be our ScrumMaster?
I would be honored if Thee @Froggacuda would attend at least some of the code sprint this Saturday as our ScrumMaster Elect? Puh-weeze?

Good stuff!
Wish I could come out, especially to the first one, but that's looking unlikely atm. Great idea & project that the entire Drupal community will benefit from. Props to the organizers & attendees!

Any chance for a guy who lives in a very hot spot now in the world called Syria to attend virtually? :)
Of course!

They don't cut the whole internet, but for example my connection is 120KB/Sec, they make it 10KB/Sec, so dying slowly :\ I'm downloading the cod code since an hour!!!!
About COD
Hi! Is the IRC channel #drupal-cold still open ? Thank you
It's #drupal-cod on
It's #drupal-cod on irc.freenode.net

I'm gonna try to be there, but I can't leave OC until after noon.

Virtual sprint in #drupal-cod
Awesome! Several of us from GVS will be online in #drupal-cod on irc.freenode.net to sprint as well.
I personally may start on the BoF feature since it's a hot ticket for Drupal 6 (and affects the session schedule View, which relates to the D7 port).
Great
Will you be working on this for d6 first? If so, then I might be able to throw in some time to help. I would like to get something like this for a conference we are having this summer.
BoFs in D6 first
Yes, since the code was written for Drupal 6 first (for DC Chicago site) it makes sense to me at least to finish it there and get it in.
Can I help you out in any
Can I help you out in any way?
Sweet!
Thanks for having an irc channel for those who can't physically be there. Will try my best to help out!

This was an awesome
This was an awesome experience for me. I learned an awful lot -- about COD, sprints, Drupal, the community members (who all rock!), Kohwork'n (our donated workspace), GIT, Features, migrating from D6 to D7, project documentation, working within a team (always more to learn!), Livestream, Qik, donuts, our local developer community's penchant for In-n-Out, the generosity of sprinters, commitment through travel (thanks L.A. Drupal-ers!), Lullapad, TMI on IRC, configuring local developments, planning for code sprints, managing code sprints, and more (though not much more).
Note: this was my first Drupal code sprint.
Thanks to everyone that helped make this such a great time for me! I look forward to the next chance I get to sprint with you all, and I encourage newbies to attend a code sprint if possible. There's so much to learn and nothing to lose. Seriously.

Yeah, no matter what the challenges are...
...it seems at least some challenges are completed per sprint. I thought we'd be knocking out code, but found that the process and workflow and scope all needed to be addressed, so we ended up doing that while i was there. That's always fun and yes, sometimes frustrating... but that's what makes it all the more worth it a take away that we contributed.
It was alot of fun. @sirkitree, lemme know how the possible lullabot / arduino project goes, and if you guys need some assistance with that... ;)
