Sprint toward a Drupal 8 release candidate
As of this writing, 22 known critical issues block a Drupal 8 release candidate. It's time to close that gap.
The D8 Accelerate program is sponsoring a critical issue sprint in London, UK, from Thursday, July 2 to Wednesday, July 8. The sprint will be hosted by UK company and Drupal Association member BrightLemon at BrightLemon London, 12 Epworth Street, London EC2A 4DL. Note: Previously a different address was given. Please note the address change.
Space is limited but we welcome your help!
This sprint will be focused exclusively on resolving critical issues in Drupal 8. Confirmed attendees so far include alexpott, amateescu, Berdir, dawehner, pfrenssen, plach, xjm, Wim Leers, and znerol. If you can help resolve the remaining critical issues, we'd love to collaborate with you as well! Space is limited, so contact xjm if you are interested in signing up for the sprint.
Remote collaboration is also welcome; join us in #drupal-contribute during the sprint. If you can't make this sprint, you can help on Drupal 8 criticals in the issue queue now or at one of the other upcoming Drupal 8 sprints, or help by triaging major issues.
Let's get Drupal 8 done!
