Module porting sprint

Since Drupal 8 Beta is released, now would be a good time to start porting the contributed modules from previous versions of Drupal to D8.

Pune DRUpal Group (PuneDRUG) is planning its first porting sprint to be held at QED42 office this sunday morning. The plan is to get 1/2 modules to get to a working condition on D8.

Agenda:

• 1100 to 1200 : Talk on Module Porting by Piyuesh (IRC : piyuesh23)
• 1200 to 1600 : Sprint

The porting process that will be followed: (Inspired by other D8 sprints worldwide)

1. Search the module's issue queue for a Meta about porting to Drupal 8. If one doesn't exist - create it.
2. Clone the module into a sandbox and grant commit access to anyone at the sprint working on that module.
3. Update the original module's meta with a link to the sandbox project where work is taking place.
4. Work on the port, using the sandbox projects issue queue if required but committing using the issue number from the original meta - ie maintaining commit messages.
5. Getting the module in a working form in Drupal 8.
6. Updating the meta issue in the original queue with the git commands required to merge the changes/include the branch in the original repository.
