As announced during the opening ceremony of the Prague DrupalCon:
The next First Friday Contrib Sprint is coming up.
Friday November 1st is the second time the entire global Drupal community meets to work on preparing Modules for Drupal 8.
We all know that having Drupal8 Core done without any contrib modules is not really very attractive for our customers. Hence this initiative.
Mobilize the Drupal companies in your area, get together, and create some great Drupal 8 modules.
AND... report back. let the community know what your team has accomplished. (for reference: http://www.md-systems.ch/node/822)
Tell your friends and connections about this initiative and get them to join us on-line. Let's get a spike in D8 Contrib commits on Friday November 1st 2013.
Cheers
Jos Doekbrijder

Anything for a almost non-PHP coder to do at CSI?
Hi all!
I can script in bash. I know enough PHP to make me dangerous. I can apply a patch, install modules, update a site, install Drupal and my mother language is English. I build/develop websites with Drupal for a living.
I guess the question is does anyone have something that a pretty much non-PHP coder like myself could help out with for CSI?
I would like to come and help out but prefer to know ahead of time that there is something that I expect to tackle that would help the group meet its goals. The last time I attended a code sprint (my first time) I found myself at the beginning a bit lost trying to find something to do.
So, anybody have anything they think I should/could work on for this CSI?
Greetings,
Frederick
There are many ways...
Hi Frederick
Even core sprints claim anyone can help. Still, participating needs quite some self-propelling and topics can get core nerdy pretty soon.
Anyway, we don't claim participants need to write code. You can also validate you current Drupal 7 projects with Drupal 8 patterns and identify missing pieces. Discuss with us about our contributions, review contrib other people did, help porting a module or even just try to understand pieces and help to improve documentation (or things like plain core example modules).
Some modules even need conceptual thoughts about their future.
Other contriby better start with a cleanup in the D7 branch or writing tests to cover D7 features because porting is easier afterwards.
Each of our employees has a specific contribution module assigned and they all cover totally different topics at all skill levels possible: From very limited (Drupal/PHP) novice scope to really hard challenges. I would recommend to join us early and sync your skill level and interest and join one of our team members / modules to get started with pair programming.
Pick one of the topics above and set expectations that are achievable. We are looking forward to welcome you.
drupal.org downtime
The d.o site will be upgraded to Drupal 7 on the 31./1. and will be down for 24h, which will overlap with our sprint.
We will sprint nevertheless, but make sure that you're prepared a bit if you want to join! Fetch the latest Drupal 8 before the downtime begins, if you know what module to work on, get that already too. If you're not sure what to work on, I can recommend https://drupal.org/project/examples, which consists of many small, focused modules that are great for learning a specific new API.
