We're putting together a strong team of Drupal developers that will compete in this year's re-envisioned Overnight Website Challenge. This year, we have a better chance at exhibiting the full power of Drupal because we will have from March 9th to April 2nd to full complete a site for a local non-profit.

Come join us! We need folks who can produce wireframes and designs from those wireframes as well as Front End Developers and Backend developers. Hopefully, I'll also be able to present the work we do for this challenge at Drupalcon Portland as I've submitted a talk about the work we've done in previous challenges. And even if it's not a full talk, I'll do a BOF about it.

Registration closes on February 8th!

ABOUT THE EVENT
In the first five years of The Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge, volunteers have freely given about 3 million dollars worth of professional web development services to 96 nonprofit organizations. While The Nerdery considers this a good start, we will rally our staff and community to help good nonprofits with not-so-good websites. During this nerdathon benefiting local nonprofits, volunteers form teams of 8-10 web pros that show up not knowing what nonprofit they’ll serve, pro bono, for the next 24 hours.

SPRING FORWARD
While the outside world deals with losing a mere hour of sleep for daylight saving time, we'll collectively lose countless hours in the name of nerdy deeds done dirt cheap.

NEW THIS YEAR: THIS IS THE END
Instead of having weary teams present nonprofit websites at the conclusion of a challenging 24-hour sprint, better-rested participants will reconvene a few weeks after Web Challenge weekend to present their fully-realized accomplishments at The Nerdery on April 2.
