To participate
- use "Drupal Sprint Weekend 2015" in the description of your sprint meetup, sprint camp session, mini-sprint, wind-sprint, or all-day sprint, like: "Drupal All-day Sprint in Anywhere Town, IL, USA is part of Drupal Sprint Weekend 2015."
- add a link to your sprint on this page. The link can be to a website, meetup, event on groups.drupal.org, blog post or whatever is appropriate for your event.
- link back to this listing of local sprints
- add an "event" of type "sprint" on groups.drupal.org in a group for your area, to put your sprint on drupical.com and get exposure to people in your area
- use the hash tag #SprintWeekend on twitter
- use the tag "SprintWeekend2015" on d.o issues (no # in this tag name!)
Suggested announcement
A blurb to add to your session/event description (edit to fit your event):
Everyone is welcome; if you have built a site in Drupal, you can contribute. We will split into groups and work on Drupal core issues. Bring your laptop. For new folks: you can get a head start also by making an account on Drupal.org, getting some contribution tools, and developers can install git before coming and git clone Drupal 8 core.

Resources for participating in a sprint
(needs updating for 2015, but this is a start)
- Drupal 8 change notifications
- Resources for contributed module developers: upgrading your modules to Drupal 8. Look at git logs and 8.x issues from modules that have already started a 8.x branch. As you port, first commit a 7.x version as initial 8.x, and make frequent public commits (and issues in your issue queue!). In those commit messages: 1) say what you did, *and* 2) add "per ...." and site the change record, or link to an example in another module that led you to think that was what needed to be done. The "per" is really useful. See also the Pants example module.
- (from 2013 need a 2015 version) Preparations for Sprint Weekend includes what to bring, and how to find/groom issues.
- Use irc, and post a comment when about to work on an issue.

For new sprinters
If anyone at a sprint is not yet granted the Trusted role, the best thing to do is file an issue like https://www.drupal.org/node/add/project-issue/webmasters?component=User%... and mention you are in a sprint. You can also put your issue link into IRC to help speed up the process.
DrupalCamp Brighton
I'm at DrupalCamp Brighton, so feel free to ask me if I'm in the sprint room.
