On Friday, 2nd Oct 2015, we organized the first virtual media sprint. Four sprinters showed up and worked on D8 media issues.

First a bit of background

At Examiner.com we get an entire day to spend (along with contributions that we do as part of our regular work) on community contributions every other week. We call it "Drupal day" and we love it! It is our way of saying "Thank you!" to the community. We understand that we wouldn't be as successful as we are without incredible efforts that are invested in Drupal and other free software projects we use.

We are currently working on a very cool D8 project where we heavily use modules from media ecosystem. I might write another post solely about that in the near future. My companies' need for solid media handling solution aligns very nicely with my personal interest in the same field. As a result of that I spend most of my Drupal days on improving media ecosystem and thinking about it. Having a day to focus on things that excite you is great, but what if there would be more people joining?

This is when idea for virtual sprint was born. I published the event on our group and invited everyone to join me.
