Every year we run a contribution event in Yorkshire as part of the Global Contribution Weekend.
This year we're also joining up with other Open Source communities from Wordpress and Joomla.
On the day
We’ll be set up for 10:30am in the Old White Cloth Gallery, where there will be some refreshments laid on and pizza at lunch to help keep you contributing through the day.
Mentors will be on hand on Saturday morning to help new contributors understand how to collaborate with the Drupal and Wordpress communities, and set up all the tools needed to contribute.
Who is it for?
Everyone is welcome; if you’ve built a site in Drupal, Wordpress or Joomla, you can contribute. We will split into groups and work on core issues. Bring your laptop.

Hot topic - accessibility
Since a core accessibility maintainer (that's me!) is going to be there, we'll be making accessibility a "hot topic" for the weekend. I'll be tagging some issues before the event, so we have a range of stuff to look at. No prior accessibility experience is needed.
One thing I'm thinking about is that we can crowd-source some of the auditing tasks we'll need to do address as we aim to address the new criteria in WCAG 2.1 which became a standard in mid-2018.
You can work on whatever issues you feel like at the Drupal Yorkshire contribution day, of course, if accessibility doesn't take your fancy.
