The week of April 23 - April 27, the Drupal Association is sponsoring a sprint, hosted by the Oregon State University Open Source Lab, to upgrade Drupal.org from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7!
The sprint will be mainly focused on the following areas, and the following attendees will be there:
- Drupal Customizations team: Neil 'drumm' Drumm (team lead), Angie 'webchick' Byron, Dylan Tack
- Infrastructure team: Narayan 'nnewton' Newton (team lead), Lance Albertson, Rudy Grigar, David Strauss, William O'Connor (solr lead)
- Project*: Derek 'dww' Wright (team lead), Chad Phillips, Michael Prasuhn, Brandon Bergren, Jonathan Hedstrom, Karoly Negyesi, Diana Dupuis
- Git*: Sam 'sdboyer' Boyer (team lead), Marco Villegas, Michael Halstead, Howard Tyson, Melissa Anderson
- Bluecheese Theme team: Joel 'banghouse' Moore (team lead), Chris Ruppel, Lewis Nyman
- Documentation Of The Drupal.org Site team: (We would like at least one on-site volunteer to be involved with each of the above teams for purposes of documenting the processes involved and decisions made during the upgrade.)
Maintainers of other Drupal.org subsystems (e.g. sub-sites, testbot, content, IA) are encouraged to sprint along with us virtually this week in #drupal-infrastructure!
Note that unlike many sprints where all able hands are needed, this one is dedicated to work by the current maintainers of the drupal.org sub-systems, so that important groundwork can be laid quickly. For those interested in following the sprint progress, updates (hopefully daily) will be posted here. We don't yet know exactly where the broader community can help (that's one of the outcomes of the sprint we're hoping to achieve!), but as we identify and define ways, issues will be opened in the appropriate project queues and cross-referenced here.
Keep your eyes peeled on http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg/drupal7, which will be the living "roadmap" document for this initiative.

Summary, Day 1
Our staging environment is at http://7.devdrupal.org/ - nothing but a WSOD for now, but it does make it through the core D6 => D7 upgrade ok. Woo!!
We divided up into 5 teams, and each team gave an overview of the parts of Drupal.org they're responsible for and major components/areas of overlaps with other teams.
Progress report:
1) Infra team spent the day on getting a D7 version of the Git staging environment set up
and also doing some research on automated performance logging/testing/alerts
2) Project* team spent the day hashing out architecture for D7 version, hopefully mockups/use cases to be posted tomorrow
3) Git* team working on some D6 leftovers and also evaluating the D7 port by ericduran which looks pretty complete!
4) Bluecheese team prototyped both the custom and Omega approaches and are going to try and come up with a decision around the direction tomorrow
5) Drupal.org customizations/general team worked on staging environment at 7.devdrupal.org and initial crappy port of Drupal.org customizations module
If you want to help, see if anything in the Drupal.org D7 tag looks appealing to you! :D
For review: Project Issue wireframes
http://drupal.org/node/1545922 has the wireframes the Project* team worked out for the new Project Issue interface for Drupal 7. Reviews welcome!

Huge applaud for upgrading
Huge applaud for upgrading l.d.o and g.d.o sites! now drupal websites look well integrated together. I love the design too.
very simple and beautiful.
I wonder if anyone is responsible for drupal.org SEO? drupal.org has amazing pagerank but not doing so great on keywords like content management systems (joomla is ahead of drupal in most cases and they don't have as good PR as drupal)
