During the first few days of Drupal Dev Days Montpellier 2015 workshops will be offered to introduce Drupalistas to Drupal core contribution. In three workshops, repeated on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, experienced contributors will help with setting up development tools, such as Git, web stacks, IRC clients and Dreditor, and with finding and working on issues on drupal.org.
These workshops can be attended free of charge, without reservation.

Mentoring sprint
This is where the real work happens. Under guidance from experienced contributors, attendees will find real Drupal 8 issues to work on. Depending on interests, attendees will write code that will end up in Drupal core, review each other's patches, and improve documentation, among many other things.
If you have never worked on issues before, we recommend you attend this workshop.
