The next NYC Drupal Ladder sprint is happening Sunday, June 2nd. The sprints so far have been a lot of fun, with people diving into the issue queues and swapping dev tips. Come join us!

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 "Join an issue team to work on an issue in the queue." We'll be doing some independent or small-group study and then tackling the issue queues. If they're sparse in the wake of DrupalCon, we'll move on to "Re-roll patches to apply cleanly to the latest version of Drupal."

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, June 2.

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.

I'm signed up and had intended to come, but have a family event that takes precedence.

See y'all next time.
