sprint

At Saturday's most-excellent central Florida Drupal meetup, we had a discussion about what we should call day 2 of DrupalCamp. As you may or may not know, this year, we're adding a second day to DrupalCamp Florida where we're going to be building a full site for a local non-profit organization. We're going to pre-select an organization prior to the event and do some initial legwork, but 100% of the development will be done on day 2 of the camp.

Here is a bunch of information to get started with if you are planning on attending the contrib sprint this weekend, and consider yourself a non-coder/beginner/newb. If you can get through prepping all of this before the sprint, you will have a head start once you get there, otherwise I will direct people to go through this info when they are getting started.

The Boston sprint is dedicated to upgrading drupal.org's Drupal 5 platform to Drupal 6, in preparation for the redesign. During this week-long sprint at One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) offices in Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA, we plan to get a working upgrade path for the existing drupal.org databases, port the project infrastructure to Drupal 6, and implement Views, among other issues.

Please see the project issues list and email Susan MacPhee at susanemacphee@gmail.com to volunteer expertise on issues you can help resolve.

In your email, please include your level of time commitment, Drupal experience background, and which tasks you would like to help with.

If you have any questions, please contact Susan.
