Sprint

On 27/28 January, Drupal Yorkshire will run a local sprint in Leeds, as part of the Global Sprint Weekend.

Via Crispin Read:

You don't need to be a developer to contribute; we need project managers, bug reporters, QA testers, people to help write documentation, etc... If you ARE a developer, but not sure where to get started, we have mentors to show you the ropes.

Open source projects like Drupal are completely reliant on people like you giving over time to refine and progress them. As well as honing developer skills, working on projects like this is a great way to meet other developers and grow your network.

Just bring yourself and a laptop - we've got tea and coffee and snacks covered and we are talking to some people about sponsoring lunch (and maybe some beers too). The venue has great wifi and fast internet access, we have the entire mezzanine floor so there is plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable.

Please sign up at the link below - as it is the weekend we need a list of names for the front desk in advance.

Yes! (I've just updated the summary).

It's at Platform on New Station Street.

If you are coming by train, come out of the station main entrance turn right past Marks & Spencers, and it's the next (revolving) door on the right.

If coming by car, Trinity Centre Car Park is nearby which can be accessed via Swinegate (the entrance is here), but I don't know about charges.

There's a few free motorbike parking spots around Leeds. Here's a map of motorbike parking spots.

Sorry I'll probably have to

Sorry I'll probably have to miss this one, in the middle of moving house. Redecorating sucks.

On the dates- it's Sat 26th
