We will provide power strips, internet, coffee, camraderie. You should bring your laptop, and some skills in testing out and upgrading Drupal's contributed modules. The sprint will run from 9:30 AM until about 6:00PM - but you are welcome to show up for any part of that time.</p> <p>Some possible tasks:</p> <ul> <li>Rewriting documentation for Drupal 7</li> <li>Helping to write simpletests so that contributed modules can benefit from a test-driven-development cycle much like core has benefited from it</li> <li>Creating patches for the modules and themes to work with <a href="http://drupal.org/update/modules/6/7">the new api</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Folks will be available to help provide <strong>instruction in checking out code with cvs, rolling patches, and posting responses in the issue queue.</strong></p> <h3>Some people on hand with specific module experience</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/user/36762">Greggles</a> maintainer of <a href="http://drupal.org/project/pathauto">Pathauto</a>, <a href="http://drupal.org/project/token">Token</a>, <a href="http://drupal.org/project/">Comment Notify</a> among others.</li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/user/69959">Ezra Gildesgame</a> maintainer of <a href="http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue">Nodequeue</a>, <a href="http://drupal.org/project/fivestar">Fivestar</a> and various Nodequeue and Organic Groups related modules</li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/user/91990">Ben Jeavons</a> creater of several new modules like <a href="http://drupal.org/project/uniqueness">Uniqueness</a>, the Drupal 7 specific <a href="http://drupal.org/project/queue_ui">Queue UI</a> and the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/security_review">Security review</a> module.</li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/user/153963">Matt Tucker</a> who has worked on <a href="http://drupal.org/project/omniture">Ominture</a>, <a href="http://drupal.org/project/admin_message">Admin message</a>, and the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/studio">Studio theme pack</a> in addition to various <a href="https://community.openatrium.com/documentation-en/node/1672">Open Atrium snippets</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/user/120651">Brad Bowman</a> author of the wicked famous <a href="http://drupal.org/project/youtube_api">YouTube API</a>.</li> </ul> <p>We'll have space for about 30 people and will also be providing snacks and lunch to keep you working happily.
