Contribution Day
When is NEDCamp's Contribution Day?
Friday, November 15th from 9AM-4pm in Gaige Hall. Everyone is welcome to join. There is no cost to attend, just make sure to select "Contribution Day" when you register so we know how many folks will be there.
What is a Contribution Day?
Work together with others in the Drupal Community to help move a project along. Contribution Days (historically known as sprints) are an important part of Drupal's growth and provide great opportunities to get involved in contributing to Drupal itself.
Contribution is at the heart of the Drupal community. Contributing to Drupal (being a Maker) helps to build a better product for everyone to use, and is a great opportunity to grow your skills and confidence. Many employers and even end-user clients look to work with individuals who have a track record of contribution.
Who should come?
Everyone! You don't need to be a developer to contribute. Opportunities include:
- writing code for new features
- testing
- performing UX or accessibility reviews
- documenting how to use Drupal
- building marketing resources for organizations to use
- or mentoring others building their skills in any of these ways
If you are new to contributing or not sure where to get started, we will have people to assist you.
What will folks be working on?
- Drupal CMS (aka Starshot)
- Drupal CMS is a fast-moving Open Source product that will enable site builders without Drupal experience to easily create a new Drupal site and extend it with pre-packaged recipes, all using their browser.
- Help improve Project Browser - where folks will browse and install modules and recipes to add functionality to their websites
- Learn about Recipes and how you can help build recipes and test existing ones
- Help with Documentation and Marketing materials
