Drupal Patch Bingo is a code sprint at Droplabs from 6-10pm on Saturday, August 20, 2011. You're invited!
Wait, what's Drupal Patch Bingo? Glad you asked! We're combining a code sprint with the universal accessibility and old fashioned charm of a 5x5 bingo game board. Teams with equal numbers of Drupal newcomers and Drupal veterans will be using the Drupal core patch bingo feature on Drupal.org to:
- Find outstanding issues in the Drupal core issue queue
- Score points by rolling patches and marking issues as RTBC (reviewed & tested by the community)
- Win prizes, bragging rights and more!
We're looking for volunteer contestants and judges, so sign up by clicking the Sign up button below! RSVPs are not required, but signing up makes it much easier for the event coordinators to arrange adequate tables and seating and contact you with last-minute updates (if there are any).
We're meeting at Droplabs, a Drupal event and coworking space in Downtown Los Angeles. Created by LA Drupal members for the LA Drupal community, Droplabs is the host the Downtown LA Drupal meetups, LA Drupal's weekly Pro Drupal 7 Development book study group and special events including last month's Drupal job fair and Varnish 3 Release Party.

What to bring
Just bring your laptop and whatever else you need. We'll have a barbecue, so bring some drinks or something to throw on the grill. Please post a comment to let others know what you're bringing.
We share a large parking lot with Big Art Labs and there's plenty of free parking. After you pull into the parking lot, park to the left of the entrance and follow the signs to Droplabs.
Please note that our guest wireless network is limited to 1Mb per client, so bring your MiFi router or a phone you can tether with if for some reason you need a lot of bandwidth. Access to our high-speed network is included with a Droplabs membership.

Big Art Labs is having a big BBQ from sunset to midnight. I suggest that we do the bingo-patch-sprint-bingo from 6-8pm and then wind down and socialize a bit between 8-10pm. If you want to join in the BBQ, please bring something to share or to throw on the grill!
