Congratulations to Google Code-In Winners

This sprint happened during DrupalCamp Kyiv 2014, an amazing event which takes place in the capital of Ukraine 7 years in a row. Overall more than 150 people took part in the conference, with 1 day of sessions and contribution sprint on November 1-2.

Our awesome community recently became a bit more awesome. Drupal was accepted into Google's Summer of Code 2014! Student applications started March 10th and are open until March 21st. It's not too late to become a student, mentor, or submit a project idea. Not available to join the GSoC fun...maybe you can send an email to your alumni university mailing list?

Hi
I would like to suggest a casual meetup in Beijing to get connected and network and share.

Also I learned how to contribute back to the community even though I am not a drupal expert(I am a little over 4 months since discovering drupal).
I would like to share things I learned from community members when I attended DrupalCon Munich recently and share my experience if you are interested in hearing.
-How to setup local setup for drupal core 8.
-installing git
-how to contribute and help on drupal 8 issues/reviews
Check drupalladder.com for more info.

This thread is for us to use as a place to discuss organizing tasks and strategies, and the conference in general from both a leadership and participant point of view. Pipe up! Help out!

Finally after several weeks of preparation the Drupal Security Module Packages are available.

About the Security Package:

I still haven't been able to establish a technical mentor for my SoU project. I need a Drupal developer with a fair amount of Drupal karma and a small interest in usability, for this project to be successful. I'll be plain; I'm directly asking Dries, core developers, and other similarly-respected folk in the Drupal community, for someone who can commit about 3 hours per week for three months.
