Last weekend, Bangalore's Drupal community came together for a code sprint to upgrade modules to Drupal 8. The sprint was held at Time Inc office in RMZ Ecospace, Bellandur, Bangalore and saw about 15 people attend it (and one participating remotely). We started at around 11 AM and most people stayed on till about 4 PM.

Time Inc graciously hosted this event and organised all requirements. We started off at 11 AM with a quick introduction to Module Upgrade Sprint, Drupal Ladder and a quick overview of what is changed in Drupal 8 and where to get help. We also looked at the video of webchick explaining how to use Drupal Module Upgrader.
Each participant then picked a module from our list and started working. It was a great experience seeing everyone helping each other in getting the module to work. We made some progress to some of the modules and pushed it back and for others, it was a helpful experience to enter Drupal 8.
We hope even greater results from future sprints. We are already preparing for the next sprint on Jan 17, 2015 which is a part of global sprint for Drupal 8. See you there!

Lets show numbers!
Hi Drupallers from Bangalore,
A huge thanks to all the organizers for having organized the last sprint. As the drupal lovers from the Silicon City of India, guys lets show up in large numbers for the sprint in January! There's so much to do and learn at each and every one of these meets and the more of us meeting, the greater the fun and better the learning!
So either lets start adding a plus one here for those of you who arent signed up at our group at Meetups (http://www.meetup.com/drupalbangalore/) or sign up there and please do make yourselves free for Jan 17th 2015. We already have 347 people in that group! Lets double that and also make sure we show the strongest presence for the global sprint in India!
C'mon guys we can do it!
