codesprint

Our hot summer Drupal Code Sprint #8 has gone successfully.

Summer is the best time for improvisation. So we have a little deviated from the planned course, but this didn’t stop us from contributing in Drupal!

Tasks we have implemented:
1) https://www.drupal.org/node/2531770
2) https://www.drupal.org/node/2522720
3) https://www.drupal.org/node/2480557
4) https://www.drupal.org/node/2460241
5) https://www.drupal.org/node/2531612
6) eat pizza ;)

We'll be holding our bi-annual code sprint at the Science on Drupal Summer Lab in mid-July - look out for more details on the event itself in the next few days.

In the meantime, we're crowd-sourcing suggestions for the most cutting-edge new features or most pressing problems faced by those in the community using Drupal for science - whether it's for organizing research, data curation or public communication.

As either a user or developer of Drupal:

• Is there a science-specific task that's hard or impossible to accomplish in Drupal?

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.

I've been working on mapping out the current drupal.org website and the new design so that we can compare the pages and features between them. This will help implementers review and make sure all the bases are covered.

Mapping of the current drupal.org site is pretty much done and the new redesign partially completed. Once this is done I plan to put them side by side and match them up and then compare the Project & Issue module related components as well as review the widget list and make sure it's complete.

I've put together a Surveymonkey poll to make it easier to work out the exact nature of the meetup Stephane announced. If you are interested in this event, please take a minute to indicate your preferences.

Since I don't have a paying account I can't share the results out of the box, but I'll post a pdf report as a follow up.

Gord and I will start meeting every Tuesday night for some relatively advanced coding sessions -- with the exception of the last Tuesday of the month for the Drupal Social. Anyone is welcomed to join us at Serious Coffee on Yates Street (Corner of Broad) (http://www.viwedding.ca/serious/stores/Yates.html). For the immediate future we will be focusing on advanced theming topics but feel free to suggest any other topics that are of interest to you in the comments (Topics covered listed below the fold).

I'd like to plan a workshop / code sprint within the next month in Los Angeles. I have a couple ideas on what we could tackle as a group, but am open to suggestions.

I'd like to accomplish two things in this session

1.    Help mentor new developers teaching Drupal best practices and guidance in establishing/enhancing a good Drupal / LAMP development environments.
2.    Create a new module from scratch - OR - fix a contrib module. 

Hi everyone,

Just proposing that we do something "productive" if it's of interest to anyone during our next Drupal social (May 26).

We have been using a combination of Layout Gala & Tripoli at northStudio. This has worked out very well for us and I have been very tempted to release the theme on Drupal.org. However, I have decided to hold off because I think that if we put our heads together we could create something that could dramatically change what most people think is possible with a theme.

FearlessCity - an arts and events portal for the Downtown Eastside - will be the subject of Drupal Camp's codesprint. The event will be held from 6-9pm on Friday at Delicados - 510 West Hastings St.

The site is currently in alpha state and I'm hoping that we can move it to a solid beta state as part of Drupal Camp.

The codesprint will have two foci - the first (for coders) will be to add as many ways for mobile-generated content to reach the site as possible. The other (for themers) will be the creation of a mobile-friendly black-on-white theme for the site.

Two random draws will be held for a membership in the Vancouver Open Network Initiatives Cooperative, including a FreeTheNet.ca wifi mesh node, from amongst all of those participating.

Food will be provided (but you'll be responsible for your own drinks.)
