Online stroll through Drupal 8, then patch party --every month on the last Monday

The last Monday of every month, our casual group gets together in a Google Hangout to explore and contribute to Drupal 8.

For the first hour we explore the current state of development. Each person comes prepared with 1 area of interest, suggesting a starting point to the group (see links below for possibilities) and giving a brief, casual walk-through.

For the second hour we test patches and post our results to the issue queue.

To be prepared, set up in advance with Drupal 8 and Git running on your local machine.

Everyone is welcome, though it is worth noting that the group is likely to dig into minutia. This get-together may be of limited use to beginners.

Useful links:

• Install Drupal locally (drupalladder.org)
• IRC help with installing Drupal 8 locally: #drupal-support or #drupal-ladder (you can ping kay_v with your question, or leave a message there)
• Browse the d8 repo (drupalcode.org)
• Take a look at the Drupal 8 Update on d.o
• Take a look at the Drupal 8 Initiatives on groups.drupal.org
