What is a code sprint?
A code sprint is for anyone who uses Drupal. Contributors of all skillsets and levels are welcome and are encouraged to attend.
Why should I attend?
Because you want to contribute to Drupal! Attending a sprint allows you to become part of this unique community and helps further the open source mission by improving Drupal for hundreds of millions of people.
How will this event work?
Other developers will work with you to find issues to work on and focus on. You don't need to worry about researching the issues on your own.
How do I prepare for this?
There are few things you should do before attending a code sprint:
- You must bring your own laptop. Computers will not be provided.
- Create an account on drupal.org if you do not already have one
- Install tools to get your development environment set up. You can use your own list or use http://drupal.org/dev-env.
- Clone Drupal, using http://drupal.org/project/drupal/git-instructions, and install it.
Please set up your Drupal 8 environment before you arrive. Do this on your laptop by installing Acquia Dev Desktop, or installing on your local environment (without MAMP). If you need help setting up your environment, we can help you at the sprint. However, we urge participants to do this setup beforehand so that we can maximize our time at the sprint tackling the issues.
Install both Git and Drush
