Outcome:

I'd like to plan a workshop / code sprint within the next month in Los Angeles. I have a couple ideas on what we could tackle as a group, but am open to suggestions.

I'd like to accomplish two things in this session

1.    Help mentor new developers teaching Drupal best practices and guidance in establishing/enhancing a good Drupal / LAMP development environments.
2.    Create a new module from scratch - OR - fix a contrib module.

As this is the early stage of the E-Commerce development for 4.8, a lot of modules can be still run on 4.7 without any problems. This is a guide to help people who need to use a 4.8(CVS) E-Commerce modules on 4.7

Folks,

I'm really getting excited with all the participation! Let me take a moment to start a new thread regarding the "meta-process" I'm engaging in and what my goals and objectives are:

• Get out a new version of Events - soon!
• Work in a community context
• model good software development behavior
• document the hell out of Events for future generations...

We all agree on the basics - but I think that some of the comments are out of scope for what I'm interested in. Here's what I'm interested in - I want to get functionality out that can be used for grassroots, community based organizing - in this case Houseparties. I would also like to see the system usable by political and other campaigns to do less-formal campaign based events. In my view (which is subject to change) this does not include "volunteering", "choosing a date for a meeting", "pre-event organizing" - you get the idea.

That being said I would be happy to help document all these other issues/scopes - but I would probably need to see a clearly defined statement of functionality/description.

So if you would like to see a broader scope - this is the place to have that discussion.
