We are proud to announce NHDevDays 2, the second in our series of contribution sprints to be held throughout New Hampshire in 2015.
NHDevDays
In lieu of a DrupalCamp, the NH Drupal group organizers have decided to run a series of code sprints throughout 2015. Each code sprint will be dedicated to both helping newcomers learn the steps involved in contributing to one of today’s largest open source projects, and a venue for existing contributors to help others and collaborate in person.
NHDevDays 2 - Portsmouth
The second NHDevDays sprint will be in Portsmouth, June 5th - June 7th. Exact times will be announced soon, but the rough schedule is that there will be pre-sprint prep on Friday afternoon, a full-day sprint on Saturday, and a 1/2 day sprint Sunday morning.
The focus of this sprint will be Twig and the new theme layer in Drupal 8. Even with this focus, members of the community of all levels of experience are welcome to attend. We will have a variety of topics to work on, including documentation and testing patches. Hopefully by the end of the sprint we will have resolved these two critical issues plus a few more!
Code of Conduct
In order to keep everything running smoothly, and both help avoid and resolve any conflicts that arise, the event will be using the standard Drupalcon Code of Conduct. Several of the organizers will be available to aid in resolving any issues that may arise.
Location
Bowst, which also hosts the Seacoast Drupal User Group, is a web development company located at 650 Islington Street in Portsmouth. Bowst has ample, free parking and is conveniently located in Portsmouth's West End neighborhood.
Refreshments & Food
We will have beverages, including coffee (regular and decaf), water, soda, and light snacks available in the morning and throughout the day on each day of the sprint. Lunch on Saturday will be the only meal provided for free. We are still working out details, but we will be making options available for people with specific dietary needs.
Dinner
We will visit a restaurant in Portsmouth for dinner on Friday and Saturday. Attendees will be responsible for the cost of their dinner.
Free stuff!
While we won’t have a t-shirt this time around, we may have a small amount of swag to give away.

D8 Accelerate Grant
Good news... the Drupal Association has awarded us a D8 Accelerate Grant! The funds are specifically going to be used to bring two of the Drupal 8 theme system co-maintainers, joelpittet and Cottser to the sprint. This will help us accomplish our primary goal, which is to resolve the two remaining Twig-related D8 critical issues.
Thank you, DA for supporting our sprint!
NHDevDays 2 by the numbers
Thank you to everyone who attended and assisted with the NHDevDays 2 contribution sprint this past weekend! I will write a more detailed report later this week, but I thought that it would be nice to share some numbers with everyone this morning.
Thanks again!
