Drupal 8 Initiatives

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

This group is an announcement list of major discussions and happenings in Drupal 8 initiatives, cross-posted from their dedicated groups and issue queues (listed below). If you only have time to read a single channel of info on Drupal 8, this is the one!

Content is along the lines of:

a) We think a decision has been reached, and here's the decision. Feedback?
b) We're trying to reach a decision, and we need help. Here's where to chime in to help us reach it.
c) General status reports about "Hey, if you've been busy for the past while, here's what's going on and what things you should know."

Unfortunately, this group needs to be kept invite-only in order to keep the content curated to only important announcements of general interest, but you are warmly encouraged to comment and participate on any discussions posted to this group!

One day Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative sprint on Feb 18th

Start: 
2012-02-18 09:00 - 18:00 Europe/Budapest
Organizers: 
Event type: 
Sprint

We are holding a one day sprint for people interested in working on solutions for the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative. The physical sprint is in Budapest, on Saturday, Feb 18th from 9am to 6pm local time (CET). Because most of you would not be able to make it in person, we'll also hang out in #drupal-i18n so if you want to join, feel free to do so then and there. Because this is a one day sprint only and people attending the sprint will be mostly new to Drupal 8 development (experienced in Drupal development in general though), we expect to work on lower hanging fruit tasks.

A new dynamic hub for the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative

Drupal.org is great to maintain a solid number of issues but all of us trying to wrangle a huge number of issues need way better tools to have overviews of what is going on and how is work structured. We need to be able to help new people join in quick, let them have an overview of current tasks and also on the place of tasks in a bigger picture. So we need to have the bigger picture documented with the possibility for people to dive in on demand and we need to keep it always up to date and relevant.

The Drupal.org issue queue is great to see a status of issues, but it is not good at all in maintaining relations and especially bad at providing support for hierarchy and in-context structural information. All we get is basically a list of issues like this one: http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?issue_tags=D8MI

Organizers: 
Event type: 
Online meeting (eg. IRC meeting)

If you don't find you way through the maze of the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative issues, wondering where to contribute, this is your place! If you are actively contributing and need some timely feedback, make sure to be there too. We'll review current issues and shorter term plans to focus on, but we'll probably also touch on longer term todo items (still confined to Drupal 8). The meeting is in the #drupal-i18n channel on IRC. See http://drupal.org/irc for more information.
