What: An unconference/hack event to come and work on Drupal projects in a fun and light hearted atmosphere. It is a doing and learning event. The agenda is slightly up in the air since we need to know how many people are coming.
You are not committed to starting on anything new or even to complete the whole task. It may be that you have an urge to do some patching or that you would like to complete some not for work modules. Or even work on work modules. Up to you. All we ask is that you come with an open mind and want to help and learn.
We would like to wrap up and discuss what we got out of the event at 17:00 or so and learn from success or mistakes. The 'timings' are fluid and may change on the day.
We have two rooms at the moment to spread into.
11:00 Arrive and discuss what we want to do or work on. Form teams or find a space.
12:00 Start coding
13:00 Lunch for a while.
13:30/14:00 Code
17:00 Wrap up.
17:30 Go to pub or home.
All you need is a laptop, Drupal, and some itchy fingers.
Please add any ideas for things that you may want to explore on the wiki page: http://groups.drupal.org/node/259328
Where: OeRC, Keble Road, Oxford.
When: Saturday, 1st December
Who: Any one interested in Drupal.
We are hoping to offer some lunch. We are looking for sponsorship to cover this if possible.

Issues
At the awesome Drupal Ladder event that Torchbox held, I vaguely remember a mooting of using part of this as an issue sprint. If so, we could do it in the same way. Pick some issues, and come back at the end of the day to tell everyone what happened. Any appetite?
Yes, sounds good
I missed the session up at Torchbox but all feedback for Drupal Ladder seems to have been very positive. I'd be up for a group of people getting stuck into the issue queue alongside any other mini projects for the day
I missed the Torchbox session
I missed the Torchbox session as well, would I need to get up to speed on the ladder (well, to a certain rung) before the hack day?
Looking forward to it!
+1 for Ladder
I am keen to work on some of the ladder stuff, but it would be also nice to get involved in some of the hack day fun. Does the ladder need to be an all day thing?
The sprint day
Glad to see such "keenness" (is that English?).
@DaveyM No you don't need to be up to a certain level, although those of us there at the Ladder day got to the level about learning core systems. The day is about having different levels and being up for pushing yourself, having fun and learning more Drupal.
@JimmyMorris, no you don't have to work on one thing all day. You can move between the two or do one thing. Up to you :)
I am sorry guys, last minute
I am sorry guys, last minute change, I will spending my saturday travelling and I can't join :(
Good luck and share the progress!
Thanks for organising a great
Thanks for organising a great day, iaine. Enjoyed it!
Roundup of what I covered on the day
Hi all,
Thanks to iaine for organising and Raz for venue/lunches. I had a good day and wanted to summarise the few things I got stuck in:
Although Drupal ladder wasn't available on the day I think I learnt enough to advance a few more 'rungs'. Pretty pleased with the time spent on the day.
