Drupal Ladder - Learn Sprint

Special thanks to Taoti for hosting us!

The Drupal Ladder is an initiative aimed at raising the number of drupal.org users who contribute to the Drupal core. There are two types of sprints in this initiative:

Learn sprints- where people learn how to contribute to Drupal core, and Issue Sprints- where we sit down and work on moving core issues through the issue queue.

This will be a Learn Sprint, so we will be working through lessons on the Drupal ladder, and preparing people to take part in issue sprints.

To take part, you will need to bring a laptop to work on. Please arrive on time so we can get started quickly.

Taoti will be providing pizza, beer, and soft drinks at 6:30, then we'll be starting the sprint at 7:00.

Anyone with Drupal experience is welcome to attend this event. You don't need to be an experienced Drupal developer to get involved, you just need some experience with Drupal and a desire to contribute back to the Drupal community.

To get the most out of this sprint we encourage everyone to visit the Drupal ladder site beforehand, identify which lesson on the ladder you will be working on (http://drupalladder.org/ladder/ee503327-50be-1904-8d04-9499098cad64), and familiarize yourself before the sprint.

For those of you who do not currently have Drupal and/or git installed on your laptops, it is highly recommended that you either try to set these up beforehand, or download and install Virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) and the Drupal Pro (https://drupal.org/project/drupalpro) VM so that you can hit the ground running.

Drupal Pro is a VM with a pre-configured Drupal development environment that has everything that you will need for this sprint set up and ready to go. We will also have USB sticks with copies of Drupal Pro available at the sprint.

Recruiters: this is a working event, and not a social event for recruitment. Please stick to our monthly events at Stetson's.
