Core contributions resources
Hi Guys
Here's the links to the resources I mentioned on Tuesday night (and a couple extra) for guidance on how to contribute to Drupal.
A great presentation on core contributions by Cathy Theys; YesCT, at DrupalCon Prague from September last year. This really is an hour well spent if you're keen to understand what's involved in contributing to the Drupal project.
https://prague2013.drupal.org/session/double-session-patch-reviews-turni...
A guide on drupal.org on getting involved with contributions.
https://drupal.org/getting-involved-guide
Drupal ladder: a step by step resource on getting up to speed with contributing; using a sandbox environment to practice and the tools you'll need, git, dreditor, etc.
http://drupalladder.org/
Some good (free) videos from the Lullbot crew on utilising Drupal Ladder.
http://drupalize.me/series/learn-drupal-ladder
And an overview: http://drupalize.me/community-tools
Dreditor: a tool that makes patch reviews and working with the issue queue much easier.
https://dreditor.org/
IRC: When you're ready, IRC is a great real-time contribution tool. There's a bunch of clients around but I personally prefer Colloquy (Mac).
How to get setup: http://drupalize.me/videos/using-irc-internet-relay-chat
A guide to the Drupal IRC channels: https://drupal.org/irc
The main channel for contributing is: #drupal-contribute
Drupal core mentoring: where you can team up with a mentor to guide you through contributing to core. You'll need to be on IRC to work effectively.
http://drupalmentoring.org/
I'll add a meetup soon for the proposed sprint session on Wednesday 23rd April, 4-9pm. All welcome.
Cheers
Paul
