The next NYC Drupal Ladders sprint is happening Sunday, May 5th. The sprints so far have been a lot of fun, with people diving into the issue queues and swapping dev tips. Come join us!
This time we'll be focusing on patch testing, although there will be a number of entry points you'll be able to jump in at.
What's a Drupal Ladder?
The Drupal Ladder project is part of an initiative to help Drupal users get started learning and contributing back to Drupal. The stated goal is to get "just" 1% of active users on drupal.org to contribute to Drupal core by 2014. This is a great way to learn about and contribute to Drupal 8.
What's the plan?
The next rung on the Drupal Ladder is "Find a core system that interests you and learn about it." We'll be doing some independent or small-group study and then tackling the issue queues.
Want to do something else? (Write a guide to installing Drupal 8 on MAMP, contribute a Drupal Ladder lesson, make other improvements?) Also cool. Go for it.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
What to do in advance
- Sign up for an account on drupalladder.org. It's free and quick. Promise.
- Pack a laptop
- Event signup (at the bottom of this post) isn't required but is heartily appreciated.
When
The event will run from 2:00pm-5:00pm on Sunday, May 5.
Where
Elephant Ventures, our gracious host, have once again generously agreed to make their space available. It's just a half-block from Grand Central:
144 East 44th Street, 7th Fl (10017)
I missed the other ones/What if I don't know how to [X]?
Come anyway! We'll work it out.

(Thanks to Forest for stepping up to facilitate the sixth sprint and to Nikki for leading the upcoming one. I've been locked in a recording studio with my band; evidence is up at https://www.facebook.com/TheShondes, if you're curious. I look forward to rejoining the Ladder in July.)
