About
Our goal is to get 1% of active users on drupal.org to contribute to Drupal core by 2014 by organizing "learn sprints" and "issue sprints" at Drupal User Group meetups, camps and conferences.
drupalladder.org is a central place for people to find and contribute lessons and materials. drupalladder.org is built on the Drupal Ladder distro, which people can download and use on their personal computers to work through the Drupal Ladder lessons.
The Drupal Ladder distro and drupalladder.org are products of the Boston Initiative, an experiment aiming to figure out how to make it easier for people to learn about and contribute to Drupal.
Note that we do not accept job postings or non-Drupal Ladder events in this group. Any posts that go off-topic from the goals of this group will be removed.

Drupal Ladder + Google Code-In = Perfect Match
Hello from the Google Code-In Drupal 2013 team ( https://groups.drupal.org/google-code-in and http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2013 ).
We recently added every step/lesson in majority of the Drupal Ladders as tasks into Drupal GCI 2013. Students started taking on the tasks and are already willing to help grow the project. Luckily I mass imported all of the steps as a csv and now we can recycle tasks/lessons every code-in contest. You can see we have plenty of tasks open related and not related to DL @ http://www.google-melange.com/gci/org/google/gci2013/drupal

Drupal Ladder Feedback - Cebu Philippines Nov 2013
Hi all,
Just a quick feedback to make our next Ladder even better. We organized the first Drupal Ladder in the Philippines on Saturday 23rd nov.
We had around 8 attendees, who had fun learning git and the workflow to contribute in Drupal.
We mainly worked on a sandbox I created : https://drupal.org/sandbox/luukyb/2142467
My presentation for the event : http://www.slideshare.net/Luukyb/drupal-ladder-cebu-learn-to-contribute-...

Sacramento Drupal Ladder Contribution Sprint
It's a Drupal Ladder core contribution day!
We'll be doing both an issue and learn sprint.
Not sure what the Drupal Ladder is? See this website: http://www.drupalladder.org
While we would like to focus on Drupal 8 core issues, including documentation, you are welcome to focus your work on other parts of the Drupal ecosystem such as distributions or contributed modules.
If you're new to Drupal contribution, this is the best way to learn!
I'll work on a lunch (pizza) sponsor. Perhaps we can socialize and get a bite to eat afterwards as well.
Where?

Multilanguage Drupal Ladder?
Last Saturday we celebrated the first Drupal Ladder meetup in the Sevilla local group, Spain. It was a total success with 15 sprinters that worked through the ladder, at the end of the day most worked on real patches for Drupal 8, and some of them are already RTBCed.
In our retrospective, we talked about the pros, cons and improvement chances for potential new DrupalLadder meetups, and one of the already known problems for non-English speakers arised: language can be a blocker. Some people proposed to have DrupalLadder lessons in Spanish and/or translate existing ones.
